Autumn Term (I)
Meet the Greeks
Join the children as they travel back in time to learn about the ancient Greeks! During this exciting period of European history, the children will find out who the Ancient Greeks were and when they lived. Throughout their learning, the children will explore what daily life was like for citizens living during this period of time, as well as learning about religion, politics (importantly early democracy) and culture through the study of the gods, goddesses, art, architecture. Children will discover the richness of Greek literature through reading and performing myths and legends, including the incredible story of the Trojan War. Alongside this, children will also have the opportunity to work creatively by studying and creating Greek vases in art & design, as well as making links in their maths and science learning. In conclusion, the children will reflect on and appreciate the impact and influence that this interesting civilisation has had on the world we live in today.
Autumn Term (II)
All Roads Lead to Greece
After discovering what Greece was like in the past and developing their historical knowledge, the children will return to the present day and familiarise themselves with modern-day Greece to develop their geographical knowledge. Throughout this topic, the children will consider whether they would like to visit Greece by learning about and researching the physical geographical features of the country, including location, settlements, population, climate and topography. Children will also explore the human geography of this diverse country, including tasting the food, exploring the language and discovering the tourist attractions on offer, while making their decision about whether they would like to visit or not. Finally, children will step into the shoes of a travel representative to share the wonders and delights that Greece has to offer and persuade holidaymakers to visit!
