Greek Playscripts

In English this week, we started our new book, The Adventures of Odysseus. We really enjoyed reading the prologue, the story of how Paris has to decide who was the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses - Hera, Athene or Aphrodite. Paris chose Aphrodite, who promised him the most beautiful woman in the world - Helen. We learnt that this decision was the start of the Trojan War. The children loved the story and we wrote our own playscripts based on the prologue in pairs - including stage directions. The children then had to perform their scenes to the class. A fabulous start to our unit of writing!
