European Languages Day

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Year 3 Year: 2019 - 2020

As pasrt of our European languages day we studied Greek architecture.  Then we created our own model of the Parthenon by measuing, sawing, gluing, drilling and adapting our design before sketching the frieze for the upper part.  Did you know... 

he Parthenon is 45 feet tall, and its base is 228 feet by 101 feet. It sits on a hill called the Acropolis overlooking Athens.
The Greek goddess Athena was Athen's patron goddess. She was the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and courage.
The Parthenon is an example of Doric style, which is a simple style with a plainer column than other styles of architecture.
The designer of the Parthenon was Phidias, a famous scuplter, and the architects Callicrates and Ictinos supervised the construction work itself.
Restoration is underway to restore and preserve the Parthenon.
