Who were the Ancient Greeks?

It is our final half term together and what a fantastic topic we have: 'Who were the Ancient Greeks?' We will delve into what life was like over 2,500 years ago in Greece and explore the legacies which the Ancient Greeks left behind. We will research Mediterranean salads with a taste testing session to help us design a delicious Greek salad. We will explore ancient myths based on the Greek Gods and Goddesses to influence our creative writing. We will also have time to share our creative homework tasks. What a fun-filled last half term.
