Greeks

One of our favourites. In the summer of 2024, we enjoyed teaching in Greece, to commemorate the Persian wars and Alexander the Great. From the myths of the Bronze Age to the history of Classical Greece.

• The start of western civilisation

• Athens and Sparta, life for boys and girls

• The roles of men, women, slaves and barbarians

• Children, schools, athletics, and the alphabet

• Hippocrates, medicine, and some very impressive science

• What made the Greeks such good soldiers – very popular!

• Alexander and the Hellenistic world

• Games of probability and chance
