Ancient Greeks

With our next topic being all about the Ancient Greeks, you can do some research of your own at home to get a head start.

Geography

Using online research or books, try making a PowerPoint presentation all about Greece. See what you can find out about the country and tell me all about it. Some ideas for what you could write about include; what is life like in Greece, what is their climate, what attractions can you see there and what are they most famous for.

History

One of the most interesting things about the Ancient Greeks is their belief in a whole host of different Gods, some of whom we have already met in our class reader book Who Let the Gods Out. Using the Gods Fact File worksheet, see if you can find out some more information about some of the Greek gods and choose your favourite to write about in more detail.

Designing a Greek Vase

One of the activities that we will be doing when we are back in school is to make our very own Ancient Greek style vases out of clay. Using the Design a Greek Vase worksheet, you can try designing your own vase ready to be made when we’re back. Try researching Ancient Greek vases first to see how they looked and get some design ideas.

BGfL365

Using the BGfL 365 website, you can use the coding tools that we tried before and see if you can create your own animation. It could be about anything, from the Ancient Greeks to what you’ve been getting up to in your time at home.
