Monday 15th June- Year 5 Home Learning: Topic

Good morning Year 5!

Today, you will compare Ancient Greece with the modern world. What is similar? What is different? How does a day in your life compare with the day in the life of an Ancient Greek child?

These websites may help you get started, but feel free to search for your own information on other websites and books (those things with pages made from paper which can be found in libraries.)

Task 1

Create a comparison poster with the subheadings ‘Similarities’ and ‘Differences’. Under each heading, write facts which are similar and different between life today and life in Ancient Greece.

This can be bold and colourful, including pictures, maps and diagrams. Make sure it is neat and detailed, and it is written in your own words.

Task 2

Write a diary entry from the point of view of a child in Ancient Greece. Describe a typical day in your life, explaining what you do and who with using your research from task 1 to help you accurately describe events as if you were actually living during those times. For example, describing how you played PS4 with your best friend would be completely wrong and inaccurate for this!

    Dear diary ,
    When I woke up , I had to have porridge for breakfast .I went to the Public bath as it is the only place to clean myself. Then we had to go home and I spent most of the time with my mum and got home schooled as I could not go to school.When I finished and learning, I played with some clay toys my mother made at home when she had some spare timeo our mum cooked me some dinner. Our dinner today was dead rat as we didn’t have anything else to eat. Then we slept on the hard grassy floor.

    Dear diary,

    Today, I woke up and ate some porridge for breakfast and when I finished eating my yummy porridge, me and my mum went to go to the park and the shops and she bought me and my sister a Toy yo-yo which I really craved to buy but it was too costly for us to buy but now, I got one. After, me and my sister played with the yo-yos until lunchtime we had fruit and vegetables with spaghetti. I played a little bit more with my sister and then the day ended.
