History - Ancient Greeks

The rise and fall of the Greek Empires

Home / History / Greeks

The Greek empire flourished, grew, and spread, over a period of around two thousand years. The main city states, including places like Athens and Olympia, gave birth to huge advances in subjects such as mathematics, philosophy and science.

Workshop providers with specialist knowledge of the Ancient Greeks can help bring this amazing period of world history to life for your pupils.

From the Minoans and Mycenaean, though the Dark and Golden ages, to the Hellenistic decline. No matter what your Key Stage 2 Greek history topic, we can help you to organise a fantastic learning experience for your class. Take a look at the venues and workshop providers below - they all provide rich, interactive learning experiences based on the early civilisations topic at Key Stage 2 for school groups.
