Ancient Greece

This half term, Year 4 will travel back in time to explore the fascinating world of Ancient Greece. Children will learn about early Greek civilisation, discover the lives of famous Greeks, and investigate the lasting impact Ancient Greece has had on our world today. Through myths, legends and non-fiction texts, pupils will develop their understanding of this influential civilisation while building their reading and writing skills. 

Across the curriculum, children will explore Greek myths and characters in English, investigate states of matter in Science, and create 3D sculptures inspired by their learning in Art. They will also develop their computing skills through podcast creation and learn about keeping safe and managing risk in PSHE. 

A highlight of the term will be our exciting Greek Day, where children will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the sights, stories and culture of Ancient Greece through hands-on experiences and activities.

This engaging topic will encourage curiosity, creativity and a deeper understanding of how the achievements of the Ancient Greeks continue to influence our lives today.
