 * Hi, I'm Mrs Norman and I am on my last full control placement of five weeks in Room 16. I am really enjoying being with such a lovely group of students and learning about ancient civilisations. We are beginning to focus on Greek civilisation and we would love students to bring a drink bottle to school so that we can make a Greek vase.**

[] m =**ROOM 16, CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING GREEK FACTS!!!!!**=
 * A great link about Ancient Greece: www.greece.mrdonn.org and another: []**

**Greek civilisation began with the __Minoans__ in 3000 BC (who had a favourite sport of bull-leaping! Then the __Myceneans__ came (in 1450BC (who fought Troy) ....**
==The first __Olympic Games__ began in 776 BC - NAKED, and men only, in Olympia. (Ladies weren't even allowed to watch!) The Games were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods. The first one-day Olympic Games had only one event - a short sprint from one end of the stadium to the other! When they built a running track, it was much wider than a modern one - 20 people could run at once! The nastier event was the PANKRATION or wrestling. There were no rules and biting and poking was allowed. In boxing, a boxer could still hit the opponent even after he'd knocked him to the ground!!! The Games ended with a feast. Winners were given a wreath of leaves and a hero's welcome home!==

Alexander the Great was a very powerful ruler who controlled all of Greece in 300 BC, and also an empire from Afghanistan to India! Check it out on a map!
==﻿ The Trojan War began when Paris, Prince of Troy, ran away with Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. The Greeks, (with Achilles) sent a fleet of ships to get her back. The war lasted 10 years and ended when the Greeks sent in a wooden horse with Greeks hiding inside who snuck out during the night and killed the Trojans!==

Also, boys were told to steal food from farmers. If caught, they were beaten - NOT FOR STEALING BUT FOR NOT RUNNING AWAY FAST ENOUGH!!!!!
==﻿ If you were a girl, your father would decide whether to keep you (because when girls got married they left home AND the family had to pay her husband SO THEY WERE EXPENSIVE!) If he decided not to keep the baby, it was left outside to die!!!! If you were lucky, someone might find you and take you home!==

==﻿ Girls were married between 13 and 16 years old, so girls in Room 16, that's only 3 or 4 years older than you!!!! The day before, she sacrified their toys to goddess Artemis to show she was grown-up. Often they married men MUCH OLDER!==

Athens was the first city in the world to let the people have a say about laws (democracy). They had the first lawyers and trials, instead of the King or ruler deciding.
