Christ The King RC Primary School

The Ancient Greeks

In this unit, the children will learn about aspects of political, social and cultural Ancient Greek life. They will focus on some areas in depth, such as the systems of government, religion and the importance of the Olympic Games. They will examine the legacy of the Ancient Greeks, and will have opportunities for further study of areas of interest. While they will gain an overview of the time period, the main focus will be on the Classical period. Elements of the unit will also be used in a study of post-1066 British history and the legacy of Greek culture. The children will
utilise a variety of sources of evidence to develop their knowledge and understanding of the time period. Links will be made to prior learning on the nature of empires, particularly Year 4 Unit 2: Roman Britain. 

What can parents / carers do to support learning at home?

  • Build a model of the Parthenon Athens.
  • Design a model Grecian Urn, displaying the people and lives from Ancient Greece.
