Cool Olympic Video

Check out this awesome video from the BBC that we watched today to get us all psyched for the Olympics which starts in 8 days!  So cool!

We also enjoyed the new Katy Perry video with an Olympic theme.

Ancient Greek Presentation 14 - Sport

Here is the last presentation and it is a goodie.  It is all about sport which is perfect for the Olympics coming up.  We learned where they came from.

Ancient Greek Presentation 13 - The Afterlife

This presentation is a bit dark and spooky.  It is all about the afterlife and what the Greeks believed happened when you died.  Don't watch if you get scared easily.

Ancient Greek Presentation 12 - Art and Craft

There was some pretty cool art in ancient Greece and we still use some of their ideas on our buildings today.  Ever wondered where those pillars came from?

Ancient Greek Presentation 11 - Fashion

The fashion in ancient Greece was a bit different from ours.  They also had different clothing for rich and poor people.
