Ancient Greek day!

Wow, what an exciting day we’ve had today! Everyone’s costumes were fantastic :)
Our Greek visitor has been with us all day, with lots of interesting Greek artifacts for us to look at and try on…

We’ve played some traditional Ancient Greek games, learnt all about Greek democracy, the foods they had and the clothes they wore. Did you know the Ancient Greeks ate zebra? As a class, we decided our shoes last us about 1-2 years.. but the Ancient Greeks kept hold of the same pair of shoes for over 20 years, they just resoled them quite often…

Have you ever played naughts and crosses or rock, paper, scissors? Well, they are modern day versions of popular Ancient Greek games!

The Ancient Greek excitement continues tomorrow where we will be trying lots of different Greek/Mediterranean foods…
