Summer Term Theme – It’s All Greek To Me

Who were the Greeks? What impact did they have on the world? What did they believe?

Greece is the word this term in Year 6: it’s got groove, its got meaning 😊. Yes, that’s right, we are finding out all about the Greeks this term! We will be exploring the Greeks in detail looking at: where they settled, their traditional Greek lives, what Gods they believed in and the infamous Athens vs Sparta.

Across the different subjects, we will investigate the following questions:

Who were famous Greek architects?

What are the features of Pop music?

What was in Pandora’s box?

What components make up an electrical circuit?

What are the geographical features of Ancient Greece compared to modern Greece?
