Wakefield Girls’ and QEGS Year 4 classes had a fantastic time at an ancient Greek workshop on Tuesday 4th June.

The presentation and all the activities were run by the Year 4 girls as they are now experts having learnt about this topic during the summer term! QEGS Year 4 students were an excellent audience and this was a great introduction to their new topic as they are just starting to immerse themselves in the ancient Greek world.

The workshop began with a presentation to the boys about what the Year 4 girls had learnt about the ancient Greeks, including topics such as greek clothes, food and the Olympics. Learning by teaching others, known as the protégé effect, is a well-established and research-backed study method which helps to consolidate the girls’ own knowledge.
