Theseus

Activities based on two stories about Theseus:
Theseus' Challenge and Theseus and the Minotaur, from Shirley Austin

Year 3 support materials for Myths and Legends. These materials have been made for pupils who may be working on text level work in class which is far in advance of their word and sentence level work. So although the text level may be from KS2 there is still a chance to develop some of the foundation work from KS1.

NLS Reference Y3 term 2
