We are learning about the Ancient Greeks across three subjects this half term. In literacy the children are creating their own Greek quest myth. In art the children are going to create a clay Greek mythical creature, which they will then paint. In history we will be discovering many things about the Ancient Greeks, their Gods and Goddesses, rivalries between Athens and Sparta, the Olympics and many more things.So far the children are particularly excited about thinking about Greek mythical creatures. See if your children can tell you about each of the creatures below.
The children particularly enjoyed analysing certian features of mythical creatures. For example we watched David Attenborough's 'Life in cold Blood' . We were able to analyse features of lizards such as their scaly skin and we looked at serpents' forked tongues. The programmes can be downloaded from the internet on, just google bbciplayer the programmes can be found on Mondays, just look for Life in 'Cold Blood.'
