This afternoon, Year 5 began studying the Ancient Greeks. To start the topic, we looked at the geographical location of Greece. We started by recapping the names of the oceans and continents, labelling these on a world map and discussing countries that are in each continent. We then zoomed in on Europe, looking at the location of Italy (which we studied in Year 4 when learning about the Romans) and Iceland (which we studied when looking at WWII in Year 4). Next, we located Greece on the map, looking at the countries and seas that border Greece. To finish our lesson, we did some research, looking at the physical features of Greece. We learned that Greece has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and is composed of the mainland and around 6,000 islands!
