For Sparta! For Athens! The war cries of Ancient Greece could be heard echoing throughout the school when Year 3 & 4 enjoyed their history day.

We started the day by taking part in a carousel of activities involving solving Ostomachion puzzles, playing traditional Ancient Greek board games and completing a quiz all about Ancient Greece. In the afternoon, we learnt about Greek warfare, took part in a javelin competition and ended the day with a traditional Greek play, complete with accurate Gods and Goddesses.

All of the children and staff that took part would like to give a huge thank you to Mike, from Portals to the Past, who ran the experience for the children. We would also like to thank the Classical Association who kindly approved a grant for St Paul’s in order to organise and run the day.
