Year 5 Greek Day
May 24, 2013
In the morning of Greek Day we decorated masks because in Ancient Greece actors wore masks so you could see what type of character they were. After break we made an owl out of clay. An owl was the goddess Athena’s symbol. Following lunch we held a mini-Olympics on the field. We participated in javelin, hurdles, sprinting and discus. Then we had a Greek banquet. The food was extraordinary, we could choose from grapes, raisins, salad, apples, humus, olives, honey cake, pitta bread and feta cheese. The drinks were either red or white 'wine'! Finally we tried to learn a Greek dance. Our costumes looked fantastic, we all had an amazing day.
