Ancient Greece Trip
Our Ancient Greece trip programme will see your group travel through Ancient Greece discovering the culture and lifestyles that make each state unique. Taking part in typical Greek activities such as arts, warfare and sports, your children will get be immersed in a range of Greek life experiences learning ancient Greek school facts first-hand.
Led by a priestess you must earn respect as you face each challenge presented to you... If you show a range of skills and determination, you may be rewarded by the gods. BUT if you choose to defy the gods or perform poorly, Hades may well come for you, where you will be held as his slaves in the underworld for eternity...
Our historical narrative supports Ancient Greece KS2 learning, and will allow your children to experience Greek life and culture and explore new regions and city states. Your children will experience drama and fun in the activities that they do with us, all of which promote historical understanding, teamwork and problem solving.
