Horses and Riders
Horsemen from the Parthenon
The children looked at the horses and riders on the Parthenon freize, then touched them on the touch-wall.
Angelica:
'We touched the man's foot and the horse's
tummy.'
Lene: 'It felt hard to
touch.'
Debowrah: 'They are
going along fast. The riders are talking to each other.
They're got no reins.'
Yonas:
'They've got no clothes on - it's not very
comfy. He's wearing a coat
though.'
