YEAR 5 CURRICULUM
Autumn 2 - Groovy Greeks
This half term, we are learning all about the Ancient Greeks.
What was life like through the timeline of Ancient Greece? How different were the roles of women, men and children? As Historians we will be researching the life and legacies of a young Greek Soldier. The children will discover how he lived (housing, education, food); what he believed in (gods, legends, democracy) and how he fought (Athenian/Spartan soldiers).
As readers, we will look at Greek myths and legends, including Theseus and the Minotaur and the Twelve Labours or Heracles. For our non-fiction unit, we will be researching similarities and differences between Athens and Sparta which we will then use to write an explanation of life in Ancient Greece.
