Tasting greek food.

We tasted a variety of Greek foods and the olives went down very well! 

Robotic club

Building our robotic arms. It takes quite a lot of skill just to understand the instructions and find the correct screws and pieces.

Needs some serious concentration!

Great pictures from our Greek day.

                                          Sat waiting patiently in our costumes.

                                         Spartan soldiers mixing with gods on Mt Olympus.

 Greek facts.

 Soldiers

Soldiers had spears and a sword. They used the sword only  when things where going wrong. The spear was used to stab,slash and throw. The shield were mostly round and made out of wood. 

Food

The Greeks didn't have a lot of food. They grew grapes,olives,onions and wheat. They had sheep and goats. The other food was sausage. They caught fish and dried it so it would last longer.

Pottery

The Greeks were very good at pottery so they would trade it. They would decorate their vases too.

The magic box

 

I will put in the box

The kindness of my friend

The first bark of a dog

The first meow of a cat

 

I will put in the box

The first smile of my baby cousin

Memories from my smaller brother

The kindness from my mum

 

I will put in the box

The smell of my favorite meal

The smell of the sea waves

Steam from the hottest volcano

 

I will put in my box

A roar from a lion

The flutter of a butterfly's wings

The cheer from a crowd

 

The box is made out of solid gold and steel

With blue spots on the lid and wind in the corner

The hinges are teeth from lions

 

I will take my box to the top of the tallest mountain

and then fall down onto the golden beach

And open it to see the magic inside

Modern Greek Gods

Mon Is very kind but if people use his money unwisely he gets angry and shoots blazing coins at them. His house is a giant treasure chest and his creature is an golden eagle. He is the god of money and is kind and likes peace.  He looks half eagle and half human. When a small mortal tries to race him he is the best at running. Mon is the bravist man in Greece. Hhe will never back down from a challenge and he will do the challenge quickly.  Puny people must worship him 3 times a day morning, evening and night.  His brother is called Petsidon the god of pets. Also he has a another brother called Calles the god of sport.    Jamie B.

David stared at the door.  As his heart pounded he heard the creaking of the door.  Lightning flashed at the window and his teeth started to chatter.  As his eyes widened he saw a pair of red eyes peering around the door at him.  He couldn't move....

If you had wings, where would you go to and why?
