Greek Week

This week with only 7 children left the work haad a thematic approach to learn more about the Ancient Greeks.Mr.Davies planned activities that included learning about the Greek myth " The 12 labours of Hercules." Children then planned and wrote their own 13th labour. They learned the Greek alphabet.In sciienec they leanred about the Greek inventor Archimedes and his invention of the Archimedes Screw- a device to carry water from the bottom of a hill to the top. Everyon made their own version but designed to carry cereal rather than water.
Desinging and making  our versions ofArchimedes Screw.

Will they work?Can they transport cereal from the tray?

Chloe and Jamie joined us for the day from class 2.


All just about worked-some needed a few changes first!
