What do you know about the Ancient Greeks?

This week we begin our Ancient Greek topic. Over the next 6 weeks you will be learning about how fascinating and influential the Ancient Greeks were.

We would like you to think about anything you already know about the Ancient Greeks and complete a KWL grid.  You should be familiar with these grids, remember you only need to complete the K (What I already know) and the W (What I want to know) at the start of a topic.

Here are some links to video clips and websites to read / watch to tell you abit more about the Ancient Greeks in preparation for our learning over this half term.
