Before we start our new topic, The Greeks, we have learned some new vocabulary that will crop up consistently throughout the term. To begin with, we looked at the new vocabulary, discussing potential pronunciations and meanings. Then, we had a go at matching the vocabulary to their correct definitions, discussing them as we went. We have learned the following words today: The Greeks, Ancient Greece, Modern Greece, Civilisation, City States, Empire, Democracy, Athens, Sparta, The Olympics, Myth and legacy.
