Year 3 have finally reached the end of their Gods & Mortals topic, with sports days, unexpected closures, bank holidays and a jam packed curriculum it has taken a little bit longer than expected.

On Monday, a mysterious box with a heavy lock is found. A sign on the box says ‘Do not open’. What should YOU do? Year 3 spent time discussing reasons for and against opening the box.  Then they heard the story of Pandora’s Box.  Ask Year 3 to tell you about  the moral of the story? Have you ever let your curiosity allow you to do something you shouldn’t have?

When Pandora opened her box all sorts of evil things flew out so Year 3 decided to create their own boxes and fill them with good things that could be let out! What feelings, hopes and good things would you put into your box?

The next stage was to design their boxes. There were lots of questions for consideration…how big will it be? How will it open and close? Will it have a lock? What colours and decorations will it have? How can you make it special?

Finally, time to use their cutting, sticking and modelling skills to make the box.

Have a look at our beautiful boxes.
