What a busy half term we have had in Team Citron! We have really enjoyed our learning across the curriculum.
In History, we have been learning all about the Ancient Greeks. We have learnt who the Ancient Greeks were and why ancient Greece was split into different city-states. We really enjoyed learning about Alexander the Great, and we used a range of sources to support us in understand his significance. We have also enjoyed learning that the first Olympic games held in Ancient Greece, and compared it to how the Olympics is run in the modern day.
In Science, we have been learning about sound, and have had a great time experimenting! We were fascinated to see the vibrations sound creates using rice on musical instruments. We have learnt about how sound travels, and how this works within our inner ears. We can identify the different parts of our inner ears and know all are important for us to be able to hear and identify the many sounds in the world. We have learnt about pitch and created our own panpipes to explore this ourselves. We also greatly enjoyed making our own string telephones to explore how sound travels from one cup to another.
Next half term, we will be creating vases inspired by the Ancient Greeks in Art. In Science, we will be learning about states of matter and as Geographers we will be using maps to identify different countries in Europe and invisible lines on a map. We are looking forward to our visit to the Hindu temple in our first week back after half term. We can’t wait to get started, but first have a wonderful holiday!

The Ancient Greeks
Here are some examples of Ancient Greece home learning activities. You may have some other ideas too!
You could…
-find out about the clothes that the Ancient Greeks wore. You could draw and label a picture showing a typical Ancient Greek outfit, or create one, which you could wear!
-make a Spartan helmet or design a shield.
-design your own Labyrinth. It could be made of straws, string or wood.
-turn a myth into a cartoon, and use thought and speech bubbles to retell the story.
