Year 4/5 Learning about Greek Myths

This term during our Literacy lessons, Year 4 and 5 have been learning about Greek Myths.  A myth is a story with a purpose.  It tries to explain the way the world is.  Greek Myths also try to explain the relationship between Gods and humans.  The class has read, watched and heard tales about Hercules and Theseus and the Minotaur, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Perseus and Medusa and many more.   They have designed their own ferocious monsters and are presently creating fact sheets about each playful God.  Their aim, when they are ready, is to write their own exciting Greek myth.  They hope to publish some of these here on our blog – so watch this space!
