Are you Spartan or Athenian?

We have started our exciting history topic, centred around Ancient Greece. 

In today's lesson, we looked into Spartan and Athenian society, where we examined the key differences and similarities. 

The Athenians were wonderful thinkers and the true fathers of philosophy and theology, whilst the Spartans were (and still are!) world famous warriors, who prioratised phyiscal strength and stability over education. They truly were the defenders of Ancient Greece!

The children voted on who they would rather be and which society they would have preferred to have grown up in. 

Can you believe it was a split vote! Take a look at our Athenian and Spartan students in action :)
