Term 3- What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?
Happy New Year! We are very excited to share the children's learning with you throughout this term. Below you will find this term's newsletter with an overview of all of the learning the children will be doing. Children will need to wear their PE kits to school on a Wednesday and Thursday and our Forest School day is Friday.
Below you will find, the enquiry mat for this term's enquiry about what the Ancient Greeks did for us. On here you will find lots of useful information that you can also use as discussion points with your children. This term's enquiry will look at the legacies that were left by the Ancient Greeks, that we still use today. We will look back through history and analyse why things happened and the impact of events, through the use of sources.
Paralympic games workshop
We were very lucky to have a visit from Mr Haslam who gave a presentation about different paralympic games and the children had the opportunities to play. As a group, we thought about the challenges that paralympic athletes face and how hard they have to work to compete in their sports. The children linked the protected characteristics and how sports are adapted to enable inclusion in the sports.
PE-Health Related Exercises
The children started the term off by challenging themselves in different fitness activities.
They will redo these activities at the end of the term to see if their fitness has improved.
English-Greek Myths
The children explored lots of different Greek myths and analysed their features.
Domestic Abuse Workshop
Today we had a workshop that gave the children more information about Domestic Abuse, the facts and what this is actual classed as. The children gave really thoughtful answers to questions and when they took part in activities.
Art
The children have worked hard to plan and create a pot based on Ancient Greek pottery. They retrieved their learning about modelling techniques from Year 4 and applied to create unique pots of their own.
Enquiry throughout this term
This was an exciting historical enquiry into the Ancient Greeks! The children found out so much from investigating what the Greeks left for us and how they lived their lives. Below you will find a range of work from across the term, beginning and ending with mind map to show how much the children retrieved from the whole term of learning.
Residential Trip to Ogwen Cottage, North Wales.
Please see all of the photos of the children who attended the annual residential. They had wonderful opportunities to challenge themselves and were true role models for Wyberton Primary Academy.
