Wisdom Begins in Wonder
This week Year 6 launched their new topic for the spring term: Wisdom begins wonder. Over the next term, Year 6 will be learning about the hugely influential and fascinating golden age of Ancient Greece.
We launched our topic by re-enacting the trial of Socrates, who was an Ancient Greek philosopher that had been been accused of ‘corrupting the youth’ and denying the the city gods.
Unfortunately, the citizens in our Heliaia (law court) followed the course of history and voted to have the old philosopher drink the hemlock.
Woman were not allowed to be jurors in the law courts of ancient Athens, so we had to ‘beard-up’ to make sure none had snuck in.
