Ancient Greek Day
On Thursday, Year 5 launched their new Topic 'Ancient Greeks' with a visit from the 'Makers of History.' The children learned all about life in Athens and Sparta, had the opportunity to explore lots of artefacts, dress up as mythical beasts and gods. They performed a Greek play, designed Greek Pottery and had a truly wonderful day.
