Park View's Trojan Horse

Submitted by joann.kirk on

During class, the 6th grade students in Mrs. Hardy’s class made a Trojan War Horse with tiny warriors for our bill board . The Spartans were at war with the Trojans.  The Spartans couldn’t get over the stone wall, so they built a giant, wooden horse, and burned their own tents to make it look like they were giving up.  The leader and 5 other warriors hid themselves in the Trojan Horse.  The other warriors got into their ships and went around the island to make it look like they were retreating.  The Trojans noticed the horse and brought it inside the gates because they thought it would bring them good luck.  At night the Spartans inside the horse, got out, opened the gate and gave a signal.  The ships came back and all the soldiers went inside the gate.  They killed all the men and kept the women and children as slaves.  “It was way better than doing work,” said Ruby Baird.  The class made the Trojan War horse because they were learning about Greece.    It’s 5ft tall and 5ft wide and is black and brown and made of paper.  It will be displayed in the 6th grade hallway.  Come and see it sometime.
