Giraffe Class - Year 4
Welcome back Giraffe Class!
Term 3 - Gods and Mortals
From nothingness came chaos; from chaos came air and water; from air and water came life. Then, rising majestically from the darkness, came Gaia, Mother Earth, a beacon of warmth and light. Discover a fantastical world full of mythical creatures and legendary heroes. Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis and Zeus reign almighty from Mount Olympus, watching mere mortals on dusty Athenian streets. Meet Theseus, the hero, and Helen of Troy, the beautiful face that launched a thousand ships. Explore the terrains of Greece, where, in pure blue skies, the Sun scorches waxen wings and melts the fortunes of Icarus and Daedalus. Then decide your own fate when a mysterious box is found and stirs your curious mind. Greece is a fascinating country that has a long and colourful history. Why not sample some delicious Greek food such as baklava or tzatziki? In our learning this half term we are going to be researching the different gods and the treasures that they have left behind. In our forest school sessions we are going to be exploring Greek foods and designing our own Olympic game, seeing who can run the fastest or throw a ball the furthest!
Our PE days are: Monday and Thursday
Please come to school dressed in your PE kit on these days with earrings removed and long hair tied up.
