Year 5 Stunning Start to Ancient Greece topic

The Stunning Start to Ancient Greece went really well and the children loved exploring the range of activities we set out in the hall.

  • Tasting Greek food (feta cheese, pitta bread dipped in olive oil, chickpeas and green and black olives)
  • Writing their name using the Greek alphabet
  • Matching Greek mythical creatures to their descriptions
  • Observing and discussing artefacts
  • Using iPads to research a range of Greek Gods and Goddesses
  • Attempting to solve the ‘Stomachian Square’ puzzle studied by Archimedes
  • Writing questions about what they want to find out to guide learning further
