Pakeman Primary School was lucky enough to receive funding for 3 Ancient Greek workshops delivered to our Year 5 and 6 classes in November 2022.

In the workshops the children found out what was Greek myth and fact, uncovering the scary truth about Medusa, learning what family life was like and the grizzly reality of being a Greek slave. The children also learned about Helen of Troy and why she caused such a stir.

It really brought the children’s learning to life and was a great opportunity for many of our children to learn new facts about the Greeks in a fun and accessible way! Being located in a deprived area of Holloway, our children do not always have the opportunity to access museums, exhibitions or workshops due to cost so having these sessions in school was a real treat and highlight of their learning.

Thank you to CA for enabling this to happen!
