The ancient Greeks lived over 3000 years ago. Many of their ideas and inventions still influence how we live today.

Society

There was not one country called ‘ancient Greece’. Instead, Greece was made up of ‘city states’, each with its own government, army and laws. A city state included the city at the centre of it as well as the surrounding villages and countryside. Important and powerful city states of ancient Greece included Athens, Sparta and Corinth. These city states often fought against each other.

R - What was Greece made up of?

I - Why do you think important and powerful states fought against each other?

C - Is this text fiction or non-fiction?

LC: Infer characters' feelings from their actions and justify with evidence from the text.

An inference is an idea or conclusion that we reach from evidence and reasoning.

Inferring is making an educated guess, a choice, a decision.

We use clues and our background knowledge to make sense of something when we are not explicitly given the information.

 

The Curse of Cogston House

 

Jack strode up an overgrown path away from the park as though relishing a mission through the jungle, dodging the occasional stinging nettle with an effortless skip or jump.

“Come on, Luca. This is going to be epic!” Dipping his  head and swiping away leaves like some intrepid explorer, he manoeuvred under a tree branch, which hung over the narrow track.

Luca dawdled behind. Only a few minutes earlier, he had been perfectly happy practising his limited gymnastics moves upside down on the monkey bars. Now, he was torn between making the effort to keep up with his friend and deliberately getting left behind.

“Speed up – we’re nearly there!” Jack called eagerly over
his shoulder.

How is Jack feeling?

 

Activity

Read the below text.

Eliza had been creeping farther along the passageway when a horrendous noise startled her. She spun round to find herself perfectly alone in an empty hallway. The house looked exactly the same as it had a moment earlier – but Alice was nowhere to be seen.  

Eliza’s face contorted from confusion into panic. Her arms appeared frozen by her sides but her hands began to visibly shake. All adventurous spirit whisked out of her, she whispered meekly, “Alice?” 

Whipping her body round to face the other way, she spoke again, this time louder and more urgently. 

“Alice!” 

How is Eliza Feeling?

What evidence can you take from the text to show this?
