After a day of learning about Athens, we spent the morning learning about Sparta.
Primarily a state of soldiers, Sparta was the best in the war business. The Boy designed his own shield, helmet and body armour.
He did such a super job!
Monkey Girl designed her own Spartan Soldier outfit too and looked brilliant!
Panda Girl made some iron bars which the Spartans used for money instead of coins, to stop hoarding and prevent trading with other Greek city-states.
She then set up her own weaponry store and sold weapons to the Spartan soldiers...
She sold all her weapons and made lots of... iron bars!
