Week 7 "Yassou" from Greece
This week Rm22 'travelled' to the Mediterranean country of Greece. The first thing we do each week is use Google Earth to have a look around the new country. What does it look like? What is the same as NZ and what is different? Is it mountainous or flat? Does it have beaches? What do the houses look like? What famous places are in that country that we can look at?
The first thing we noticed about Greece is that it is made up of a few islands, and has lots of beautiful beaches. Also, the houses look quite different, they are mostly white with flat roofs and are pretty close together. There are lots of hills and mountains in Greece. There is also lots of very very very old buildings, some of them are now ruins. We had a look around the parthenon, acropolis, and Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus. What amazing old buildings!
In art we made our own versions of the acropolis, and then translated our names into Greek and put these on them. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of these so you will have to wait until you see them in their workbooks sorry...
In cooking we made some Greek Easter biscuits. These were fun to make as you rolled the dough into a long sausage then twisted it. It took a bit of practice but they looked great! And tasted yummy too.
We also learned that Greece is the home of the Olympics so we tried on some medals too...
