Making a Lyre Inspired by the Ancient Greeks

By Sheila Ceccarelli

Here, Portia, aged ten and in year five, shows, step by step, how she approached a creative homework to learn more about the Ancient Greeks.

The homework brief was to make a model, drawing or PowerPoint presentation, for a short talk to the class about any aspect of Ancient Greek life.
