In our Topic Drop Down Morning, the children revisited their knowledge from previous years. We focussed on our explorers unit in Geography, where we compare York and Venice, and Ancient Greece in History.
The children created a fact file about both York and Venice and compared and contrasted the two locations. They used atlases and Google Earth to locate these places on a map and then used secondary sources to find out information about each place.
When recapping their knowledge about Ancient Greece, we focussed on the golden age’s innovations. The children were great at remembering the names of the Greek Gods too!
Help at home: What were some of Ancient Greece’s inventions/innovations? Which one was the most important and why?
