Owls have been exploring ancient artefacts!

 

To kick off Year 5's Ancient Greece topic, we went on an artefact hunt!

We started off by discussing what artefacts are and how they can be used to teach us about the past. We then had to find 8 photos of Ancient Greek artefacts. Once we had found them, we discussed the following questions in our groups: 

• What does it look like?
• What is it made from? 
• What might it have been used for?
• What does it tell me about life in Ancient Greece? 

Finally, we were given the artefact cards which we needed to match up with the artefacts and place in chronological order to display. It really got us thinking about how things we find can teach us about life in the past!
