THEY MADE A TRIP TO KNOW THE CITY THEY LIVED 07.12.2022

Based on the main idea of the unit they worked on, "Learning about those who lived before us helps us understand today and tomorrow", our 4th graders made a trip to get to know the city they live in, Izmir. They started the tour from the ancient city of Agora, one of the old settlements of Izmir. They got information about which civilizations lived here from the past to the present and their influence on each other. They learned new words like basilica, arch, and restoration mean. They visited the Izmir Archaeology and Ethnography Museum. As realizing how to interpret the clothes of the statues in the museum, they also examined the ceramic works in chronological order. They have realized their responsibilities to protect our cultural heritage from past to present. During the unit, they enriched what they learned with the work they did in the classroom and the excursion.
