Y6 Blog#4

Hello and welcome to the fourth Y6 Blog.

We have a new topic-The Ancient Greeks.

The classes have spent time independently researching the two city states of Athens and Sparta using a range of books, websites and videos.  Later in the term we will look at the Battle of Thermopylae and begin to investigate the importance of mythology to those in the ancient world.

This week’s challenge is simple: To create a MYTHICAL BEAST from your own CREATIVE IDEAS.  You may wish to research some of the Greek beasts first, or you can just let your IMAGINATION RUN WILD.

The two rules are:

1).  It must be NEAT and WELL PRESENTED with strong colours, neat lines and clear details.

2).  It must contain (around the edges or on a separate sheet) detailed descriptions of the beast’s attributes.

In other words, draw your monster then label it 🙂

I will be making a display with the best pictures on Wednesday 13th of November so start sketching now.

Prizes for everyone who enters a picture that follows the rules above.

Comments in the comments section please.

Thanks,
Mr. Howard.
