Year 4   Learning Update

Central idea: The legacies of ancient civilisations may influence modern Britain.

In these last few weeks, we have explored our last line of inquiry centred around how events of the past have shaped our lives. To understand this, we researched different elements we now see in Britain which are a result of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Some of these things include roads, medicines, concrete, democracy and even parts of our language. We also appreciated that the Olympics we know originated from the Anicent Greeks and therefore undertook our own Olympics.

Bringing all this learning together, we then debated (and formed our own opinions) on which ancient civilisation has had the greatest influence on modern Britain - do ask us to find out what we think!
