#### **Greetings from the father of the Gods!!!**

##### Year 5, earlier on this year, trembled in fear with a visit from the mighiest of all Greek Gods: Zeus. The mighty father of the Gods challenged Year 5 to create a champion worthy of attempting one of his deadliest challenges. Zeus was brought to life in front of their very eyes (with a strangely familiar voice) to explain their mission.

##### Inspired by his words, our pupils created a range of heroes fit for such a dangerous endeavour. This autumn term our pupils will be learning about all aspects of life in Ancient Greece. Later on in the term, Coral and Lionfish will go head-to-head in their own mini Ancient Greek Olympics. Who will win such an epic battle?
