Master Chef: Food of the Gods
Master Chef: Food of the Gods
As part of this theme, children have been learning about the Ancient Greek gods, including Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Poseidon and Hades. They have "oohed and aahhed" when finding out about their different personalities and characteristics.
They've also taken part in a cooking workshop led by Eat Greek where they prepared, sampled and evaluated traditional Greek dishes like dolmadakia (vine leaves), orange cake and Greek salad.
Children have been enjoying listening to Greek myths and will shortly be creating their own god modelled on Greek gods that they know as part of our Talk for Writing approach.
In geography we have been looking at both modern day and Ancient Greece, including city states. In history we have been looking at the chronology of Ancient Greece and where it fits in on a timeline of world history.
Science will focus on ageing in mortals - as we know the Greek gods didn't age due to their consumption of nectar and ambrosia!
We're looking forward to turning our classrooms into Greek tavernas as part of our parent workshops this term.
Kind regards,
The Year 5 Team
