ANCIENT GREECE

COMES TO ROOM 10

We have studying "Ancient Greece" during History lessons. Part of our study involves a webquest, which allowed us the opportunity to build the "Parthenon" ( Παρθενών) . Many students created their building from clay and cardboard.
The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.

We have all enjoyed learning about the history of the Parthenon. We now know why there were different styles of columns and what the different patterns stand for. Everyone is extremely proud of the temples we built and we have them on display in Block 2. Teaghan made an eatable Parthenon, which we all thoroughly enjoyed in the afternoon. Luckily, Mrs Lavery took some 'happy snaps' of Teaghan's model before then.

     Our class display in Block 2

In Pairs we had the opportunity to discuss with the class, how we constructed our models. We spoke about the materials we used and what degree of difficulty we experienced. During our talks, we spoke about the story of the Parthenon and how long ago it was built. The temple was destroyed, when Turkey was storing their gunpowder inside, there was an explosion and the celler walls crumbled to rubble.

Shyanne and Teaghan presented their power point presentation about Greece. It included information about Gods and Goddess myths of the ancient past. They both dressed up for the occasion, which allowed Room 10 to transfer back in time during the girl's presentation.
