Ancient Greece Day in Ash Class!

Today we had a fantastic time having our Greek Day in school - we tried Greek foods (though not eveyone liked the olives!), made Greek head-dresses, city state banners for Athens and Sparta, did some Greek dancing and even recorded some speeches using the green screen! There'll be some videos from the day on here soon, but in the meantime enjoy these photos...

Adras the Greek visits Ash Class!

Adras the Greek:

Helped us on our magical quest to find at least six Greek words that have survived through the ancient times up to the present day but we found  about twenty-one words in total: democracy, alphabet, disc-discus, mathematics, philosophy and loads of other words too. We also played some games like… making human chariots in our tables, training to be Spartan warriors and playing guessing games with Adras! We did it all in the ancient Greek times with Jenny. And obviously learned all sorts of things about the Ancient Greeks!
