As you have learnt, we know about life in Ancient Greece from surviving buildings and art, as well as archaeological discoveries at ancient sites. Ancient Greek vases, like the

ones below, were often painted with scenes from daily life. These paintings tell us about how the Ancient Greeks lived.

Have a look at the vases below. What colours are used? What pictures can you see on the vases? What do you think they are showing?

This week, we would like you to design your own Ancient Greek vase. On your vase, we would like you to draw something that tells us a little bit about you. You could draw:

There is an outline of a vase for you to use, should you wish to, on the next page or feel free to draw your own in your books or get creative. Try to replicate the colours used in

Ancient Greece.

Unfortunately, one of our favourite events to take place at school, Sports Day, can not take place as usual this year. However, instead, we would like you to design your own sports day to enjoy at home. How you do this is entirely up to you. Be creative. You could incorporate some of the activities that we would usually do or you could invent

your own events and obstacle courses. Take a look below for some inspiration:

Make your own edible medals!

Have a look at these recipes below. Can you bake your own medals? https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/

Why not design your own Sports Day mascot. You could take inspiration from well known mascots used in different team sports or even at the Olympics.

We would love to see some of your stay at home sports days. Remember to email us some pictures to year.4@merton.leics.sch.uk

Or, if you fancy something a little different, check out the Sock Olympic Sports Day ideas on the next page!
