Myths and Masks

This KS2 session, and accompanying resources, links directly to both the study of Ancient Greeks in History and Myths and Legends in Literacy. It also links to writing-composition in English and skills practice in Art and Design.

Our films look at the Ancient Greek myth of how the Peacock got eyes on its feathers.

The downloadable resources feature creative activities that can be undertaken in class.
