HISTORY

stuck into books

Ancient Greece

Timeline to be drawn in your books neatly and labelled (No need to draw a box around the label).  Use a ruler and pencil. NO FELT TIPS

Greek mythology

Myths are ancient stories made up by ancient civilisations to help explain the world around them, and how it began. Myths were told through storytelling and featured gods.

Ancient Greeks believed that the twelve most important gods lived in a palace in the sky above Mount Olympus. There were many Greek gods, and the twelve Olympians were the most important ones. Each god had power over a particular area of life.

SCIENCE

Plants

Do not draw boxes.  Write into books how 'ancient Greece' is presented.  

Main parts of a plant: roots, stem, leaves and flowers.

Plants need air, light, warmth, water and nutrients to be healthy.

Water is needed for photosynthesis, the process by which a plant uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into energy! Water also keeps the plant rigid.

RE

Buddhism

Write into books:

The significance of the four sightings Siddhartha experienced led him to change the way he lived his life, as he believed it would help him to find an answer to the problem of suffering in the world.

The four sights were:  An old man, a sick man, a dead man and a poor, holy man, meditating.
