Grotty Greeks

Year 5's theme this half term is "Grotty Greeks", and in Literacy we have been writing poems, descriptions and myths based on this topic. Here is Alfie's (5R) description of the setting of a story.

Glamorous Mount Olympus gazed over the ferocious land of beasts and horrors as the clouds crowned it in its beauty. The fluffy and frothy peak crumbled to the jagged rocks below, as rough as sandpaper. Serrated rocks stuck out of the black base of Olympus, peering over the sharp teeth of a beast prowling over the land. Mischievous gods ate succulent fruit and slurped delicious wine as towering Zeus hurled immediate lightning bolts at the innocent giants to symbolise his immense power. Before too long, the colossal mountain dozed peacefully, until the sparkling dawn when the sun rose over the land.
