The beautiful city of Durham was the destination of Year 2/3's latest visit. They went to the Archaeology Museum on the banks of the River Wear to take part in a Greek Workshop.
Pupils learned about the Ancient Olympic Games and the events included within them. They then made laurel wreaths - the sign that someone had won their event. No gold medals in those days!
Greek artefacts were handled and examined, while children tried to determine what they were used for. They then had to work out what this object told them about Greek life.
In addition to this, the children learned to write their names using the Greek alphabet and to make some lovely posters decorated with Greek designs.
After lunch they all went on a walk through Durham to admire the Cathedral, Castle and the beautiful cobbled streets.

Emma having great fun taken part in a Greek Workshop.
