Y5 are learning about Ancient Greece. Here they are visiting the Old Royal Naval College (Greenwich). Y5 were stunned by the magnificent Baroque interiors of The Painted Hall, known as ‘Britain’s Sistine Chapel’. The day started off with a drama – how the peacock got its eyes – an ancient Greek myth. It is believed that Hera placed the ‘eyes’ on the peacocks feathers to represent stars and symbolise wisdom and knowledge of the heavens. Y5 explored the painted ceiling and hall and identified a number of Greek gods and goddesses.
Y5 then moved on to make mask representing what there god or goddess would be and what special powers they would have.
