Ancient Greek Workshop

Posted on 10/05/2024

HA Greek Workshop

Harpenden Academy participated in an Ancient Greek workshop and time travelled to 490 BC when Persia invaded Greece. The children entered this uncertain time as residents of Athens. They took on typical roles found in the Athenian Agora (marketplace) at the time. They serve as wax tablet makers, pottery painters, fresco painters and jewellers.

As the children worked, news and rumours swirl through the Agora about the battle. Can the Persians be defeated? Is Athens safe? The school workshop finished with a Greek theatre in the afternoon.

The children's enthusiasm was contagious and they all tried so hard! Thank you to all our volunteers who joined us to make the day such a success.
