Year 5 Ancient Greek Day

June 10, 2015
Year 5 pupils enjoyed stepping back in time for Ancient Greek day. Dressed in authentic outfits (thank you parents!), our young time travellers began the day making Athena’s Owl in clay, an Ancient Greek shield and Olympic crown of Victory. During the afternoon, the children participated in Hacton’s version of the Olympics with javelin throwing, sprinting and long distance running. They retired to the hall to enjoy a typical Ancient Greek feast that included traditional food such as feta cheese, hummus, pita bread, and, of course, grapes. Refuelled, the children finished the day with some joyful Ancient Greek dancing.
