This half term Y6 will be following both a Geography and History focus: The Greeks!
The children will first learn about the different periods of ancient Greece, and place the civilisation in time. They will explore how the different areas of Greece were governed, and compare the two city-states of Athens and Sparta. Children will use primary and secondary sources to find out about the daily life of the ancient Greeks, before exploring Greek mythology and the impact of some of the great philosophers of the time. In the final lesson, we will reflect on how the ancient Greek civilisation still influences modern life today.
