Year 3 have been diving into the world of Ancient Greek myths!

Yesterday, they explored the famous myth of Medusa and Athena. The children worked in pairs to act out the story – one as Medusa and the other as Athena. Athena started by boasting about her beauty, before casting a curse that transformed Medusa’s hair into snakes!

They then go curious and wrote three questions they’d love to ask either character. To bring the myth to life even more, they took turns hot-seating, stepping into the roles of Medusa and Athena to answer the questions in character.

The children were absolutely fantastic, showing a brilliant understanding of the myth!
