ANCIENT GREECE

Hello kids!

How are you today? I am feeling fine. I still miss you a lot but it's one day less to see each other again. Fantastic!!! 

I know you are keeping in touch through Skype and WhatsApp. That's great. Later on, I'll try to organise a meeting with you but not just now, ok?

Yesterday, we learnt that in Ancient Age there were three great civilizations: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

Today we are going to learn about Ancient Greece. They were an important civilization between the years 800 BC and the year 146 BC. That's nearly 700 years!!!

Ancient Greeks dominated the Mediterranean Sea and today we still have many important things from them. For example: Democracy, Philosophy, Theatre, Mathematics, Science, Architecture and sports: they invented the Olympic Games!!! They had many gods and goddess like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, and a long etcetera.

They also invented the second oldest toy. Do you know what that was? The yo-yo, yes, the yo-yo was invented by Ancient Greeks and we still play with it!

But do you know what the oldest toy is? The doll, yes the doll and it was invented in Prehistory.

Now I'd like you to watch this short video about this amazing civilization and read in your book page 84, only page 84! 

Enjoy the video!
