The Great, the Bold and the Brave!
L.O.: I can research and present information about the Persian war in my own words
For your homework this week we would like you to make a fact file based on
the events from the Persian War.
Please gather as much information as you can about the Persian War. You might
include information about:
 Cause of the war (Persia invades Greek colonies. Athens sends
troops)
 Battle of Marathon (Athenians overcome the odds and defeat the
Persians. A messenger runs all the way to Athens to share the news –
hence the Marathon running event)
 Battle of Thermopylae (Three hundred Spartans hold off an invading
army)
 Battle of Salamis (The Athenian navy defeat the Persian army)
 Battle of Plataea (Sparta and Athens join together to defeat another
wave of Persian invaders)
 Aftermath of the war (The Greek city-states set up the Delian League.
The Persians are defeated and no longer invade. Athens (as treasurer
of the Delian League) rises in power and influence.)
You can use the internet (please ask parents’ permission first), encyclopaedias,
books, etc. Present the information on paper but you must write it in your own
words i.e. not just copied and pasted. Make it interesting and colourful!
We look forward to seeing your fact-files next Wednesday.
Have fun!

L.O.: I can use a range of ambitious words in my writing
The children should complete this homework in their literacy homework

use a dictionary to check the meaning. They should use the
following strategy:
o Look-Say-Cover-Write-Check.
 Write a sentence using the word correctly – make sure the
grammar of the sentence matches the word.
 Remember to use higher features of VCOP!
 Also write the meaning of the word, looking up the definition in a
dictionary or use the internet and record this as well in your
jotters.
