Monks Risborough CE Primary School
Ancient Greece
This half term in Kestrels, the children are learning about plants in science and the learning will be driven by our half termly question 'Were the Ancient Greeks respectful people?'
We will be kick-starting the learning with an Ancient Greek Day - immersive experience when the children will take part in multiple activities that the Ancient Greeks would have carried out.
In English, the children will be reading Greek Myths, by Marcia Williams, a colourful depiction of a selection of Greek myths.

Week Commencing 23rd February
This week the children have started reading Greek Myths, by Marcia Williams. They all enjoyed our 'hook' lesson, in which we debated whether to open the treasure box that had been left on my desk, then read Pandora's Box and created our own Pandora's boxes.
On Tuesday, the children thoroughly enjoyed our Ancient Greek Day, where they were immersed in a plethora of different craft activities, including oil making for lamps, wax scribe pads and Ancient Greek drama.
