Toga Party Year 5

For their Entry Point into their new topic The Great, The Bold and the Brave, Year 5 held a Toga Party in class today.


Unit Summary

The history of western civilisation begins with the Greeks and the Romans. Their expanding empires helped to spread ideas about architecture, food, entertainment, literature, science, medicine and politics across the globe.
