Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain techniques that can be used to add different shapes to clay pots, a shared reading text to follow a set of instructions to add a handle to a clay pot reflecting life in Ancient Greece and a template to select and record the design shape for different handles that can be added to a clay pot.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to add different shapes to develop the design of a pot reflecting life in Ancient Greece in the past to show their special customs, traditions and stories.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to practise shaping and modelling clay when making replica pots and jugs reflecting and illustrating life in the Ancient Greek civilization in the past.
