Y3O Explore Ancient Greece

by Adelaide Owen, Year 3 Teacher

For the last few weeks, the children in Year 3O have been exploring the topic of Ancient Greece. We have looked at the similarities and differences in their societies and the way in which we live today. We have begun to understand that ancient societies still influence how we live currently. The children have also loved exploring Greek mythology, exploring many myths, analysing the meanings behind them and the creatures and characters they feature. The Olympian Gods in particular have captured the imagination of the children, with Zeus and Athena being the current class favourites; the children have all created posters to teach their colleagues more about their chosen Gods. As you can see from the pictures, the children have recently created pieces of art featuring the Minotaur of Crete.
