Time trip to the days of Ancient Greece

Date published: 22 April 2009

HISTORY came to life for youngsters at Lyndhurst Primary who took a trip back to Ancient Greece.

School uniform was replaced by Greecian costume as pupils from Year 5 were encouraged to dress as Greek soldiers, citizens, gods or mythical creatures.

During the day, they made and decorated pots, and performed a song about the Greek empire to the rest of the school.

Pupils spent several weeks studying the era, which included a visit to Manchester Art Gallery. A mini Olympic Games rounded off their hard work with the winners awarded honours including olive wreath crowns and certificates.
