Groovy Greeks

Last Thursday, the year 5 and 6 children had a brilliant start to their topic this term as they participated in a Greek day.

Throughout the day, the children completed a number of tasks and activities to help them understand some more about the Ancient Greeks, who they will be studying during the term.  They created laurel crowns, 'participated' in a number of events from the very first Olympiad and tasted a range of Greek foods including pita bread, olives, feta cheese and humus.

As well as all of this, a large number of children and staff also dressed up as ancient Greeks.  There were some incredible costumes and then there was Mr Welch's!

All of the children had a wonderful day - it was great to see so many smiles (when they weren't grimacing after tasting olives, that is).
