Conscience alley, by Mrs Hinchey
Date: 12th Jun 2024 @ 8:42pm
In English this week, our myths topic has brought us to the tale of Pandora. On Wednesday, we read the first part of the myth and discussed the decision Pandora had to make - whether to open the box given to her by the gods. We talked about what a conscience is, and the idea of having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.
To bring this idea to life, we created two seperate lines close together. One side had to whisper encouragement for opening the box, whilst the other tried to persuade against it.
