Year 5 - Greek Soldier Information Text

After drafting information texts about Greek soldiers, the children wrote their final version this week. They focused on the organisation of the information by using paragraphs with subheadings.  The children were also encouraged to link their paragraphs, and vary the structure of their sentences by using different sentence starters.  The children were extremely proud of the results and so were the teachers!

Year 5 - Greek Soldiers

In Y5, the children have been learning about Greek warfare.  The children found out that warfare was a normal part of life in Ancient Greece, as the different states often battled against each other.  The children used information texts to research the equipment needed by a Greek soldier entering battle.  They have started to draft their own information texts and will continue to edit and improve their writing before producing a 'polished version' next week.
