Y4 History: Life in Ancient Greece

This week the children of Y4 have been learning about everyday life in Ancient Greece.

Working in groups, the children researched different aspects of life from a range of secondary sources of evidence, before reporting their findings back to classmates. 

Did you know?

• only boys went to school in Ancient Greece? 
  • girls were taught skills such as cooking and making clothes
• Greek soldiers were not paid the same as Roman soldiers
  • many slaves were used to carry weapons and armour into battles.
• only the very richest people had indoor kitchens and bathrooms 
  • some had an extra room known as an Andron - a room specifically for male guests

The children all worked really hard to create their presentations, using some excellent teamwork and sharing ideas. The presentations were a great opportunity to share that work with the rest of the class.

Well done, everyone!
