Term 3 Week 4

Kia ora Students, this will be our last week on Greek society: finishing off the focus on society & organisation, and transitioning to a focus on government from next week onwards. This week will focus primarily on the Olympics - the Olympics as they were (Ancient Olympics) and as they are today (Modern Olympics), with a couple of worksheets that go in-depth into the history of the Olympics then & now. This will transition our focus from wider society/organisation to specialised organisation (how a culture put on an event like the Olympics), before we completely adjust to the government focus of the term: Democracy.
