Ancient Greek Food Tasting

Last week, the Year 5 pupils took part in learning and tasting about traditional foods that the Ancient Greeks would have eaten. Firstly, the children learnt about foods like: olives, feta cheese, grapes, figs and honey and the role that they played in the life of the Ancient Greeks. After that, they all got a chance to taste the foods, if they wished. A lot of children were brave and tried foods that they'd never eaten before. Afterwards, we reflected on whether we would have liked to have been an Ancient Greek based on the diet they ate - there was a very mixed response!
