Influential Inventors or Rotten Romans?
Our Year 4 historians find out all about Roman Britain. They use questioning and inquiry skills to investigate using primary and secondary sources. They find out about where the Romans came from, consider the similarities and differences between the Celts and the Romans, and explore Boudicca's revolt in detail. They also consider the legacy of Roman Britain and its impact today. Finally, they make an informed decision about whether the Romans were rotten or influential inventors.

Master Chef!
In this project, the children will recognise the importance of a healthy, balanced diet. They will learn about how the seasons affect what is produced in Britain and what vegetables are in season during their project. They will also gain an insight into how ingredients get to supermarkets and the processes and jobs involved. They will learn a variety of cooking skills such as: following a recipe, chopping, grating, peeling, and spiralising. The children will also learn how to prepare and cook a variety of savoury and healthy dishes. Once they have learned skills to create a variety of dishes, children will design a menu, with dishes of their own, to create and then evaluate them after.
