On Wednesday 6th May, Year 5 were visited by Ben (Zeus) from Past Productions and we learned all about the Greeks! We found out about some of the differences between Athens and Sparta and how life for men and women was different. We learned about some Greek myths and then prepared and performed a play to tell the story which was great fun! We discovered that the Olympics were called the Athenian Games originally and then we took part in our own mini Olympic games! After lunch, we wrote persuasive letters in role as Greek characters linked to the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. We then used all of the work that we had done to design and make our own Greek plate that showed a traditional Greek theme – the end results were fantastic! Finally, we ended the day with a quiz to show how much we had learned, which was loads!
