Here are your home learning activities for our Ancient Greek topic. You need to choose at

least 1 activity from the boxes below to complete over the holiday and the next half

term.

Your work should be beautifully presented and in your own words, you cannot just copy

and paste from the internet. If you think of something different to those that are listed,

check with your teacher and you could do that instead! All home learning should be

brought into school during the week beginning Monday 21st October to be shared with

the class.

Make an A-Z of Greece. Think about

presenting your work in the best way

possible. What could you do on the

border? You could add an illustration to

each or some of the letters along with

small pictures linked to your sentences.

Make a travel brochure about Ancient Greece

Where would you travel to? Where would you

stay? What could you do while you were there?

Who would you recommend to visit? Use

pictures with lots of facts and information.

Create a picture of an imaginary Greek

God. Make sure your poster is

eye-catching and full of facts and

information. Try to think of a symbol

for your God.

Write a diary extract from the

viewpoint of a family member in Sparta

or in Ancient Greece. Try to write about

your feelings about daily life.

Make a Spartan helmet or

design a shield.

Design your own

Labyrinth. It could be

made of straws, string

or wood.

Visit a Greek restaurant. Take a camera and

ask them if you can take pictures of the food,

maybe even as they prepare it. Look at the

menu. How it is different to traditional English

food? Design your own Greece menu, write a

report about your visit, take pictures and label

them or make a poster.

Turn a myth into a cartoon,

for example,

Theseus and the Minotaur. Use

lots of speech bubbles.

It’s All Greek to Me!

The Spanish Civil War was fought between

1936 and 1939. Find out information about

what happened at that time. Include imag-

es and information that you can find out

about what happened.

The Taj Mahal is one of the 7 Wonders of

the World. Find out more about the Taj Ma-

hal; why was it built? Who built it and when?

Add pictures with labels of parts of the

building. You could even look at some of the

patterns used around the Taj Mahal. Present

your learning in an interesting way.

Find some Spanish Salsa music on the In-

ternet and practise some Salsa dancing.

You could video yourself and some friends

doing your routine. Find out what certain

dance moves mean

and try to tell a story

with your dance.

What does Spain import and export?

Find out using books and the internet. Use a

map of Spain and colour in different areas

where the different crops comes from. Can

you write a story or report about how food

from Spain gets from the field to our dinner

tables? Maybe you

could look in the

supermarket for

foods that come

from Spain and

include these in

your report.
