More Ancient Greece
18 Oct 2019
This week in our theme work we have been continuing to discover more about Ancient Greece. We have sampled some of the food they may have eaten and we dressed some of our class members in a chiton which was a tunic made of linen or cotton.
The Olympic games were originally started in 776BC as a religious festival to honour the Greek God Zeus. The athletes came from the different city states all over Greece and the winners were given a wreath of leaves and a heroes welcome when they returned home.
The Ancient Greeks worshipped different Gods and believed that they controlled everything in the world. We have enjoyed finding about the Gods and making some fact files about our favourite.
