This week in year 6 we have been learning about the place where the ancient Greeks lived – Greece!

We started by making geographical  and historical inferences about the landscape of Greece and considered what this may tell us about how the ancient Greeks lived.

We made historical inferences about the ancient Greeks  simply by looking at maps of where they lived.

We were then instructed by a disillusioned prince of a Greek city state to explore the landscape and find a location that would be ideal to found his own city.

We used topographical  and satellite maps to find a site that may be a good place to build a new city. We then explored the advantages and disadvantages of the site and began to write a balanced report to the prince outlining the benefits and dangers of building his new city at this location.
