What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?
This half term we will diving into Ancient Greece, looking at what the Ancient Greeks did for us. We will establish a timeline of Ancient Greek history and gain an understanding of how we can learn from objects from the past. We will also look at government, religion, language and sports in Ancient Greece and how this has impacted us. Please look at the topic homework link to explore how you can further support this learning at home.
In our Science learning, we will explore the functions of different parts of a plant, in addition to how water travels through plants. Finally we will learn about the life cycle of a plant, including pollination and seed dispersal.

- Tell me, is there anything you like about the book?
- Is there anything that you particularly dislike?
