Via est Vita - The Road is life!

Watch this video and tell us what you have learnt about the Romans...





When you are watching the video think about:
1. What metals did they 'smelt'?
2. How did they smelt metals?
3. What did metal mean for the Romans?
4. What items were brought to Rome?
5. What is a Mule? What did they use the Mule for?

When I was in year 4 my favourite book was...


It was so special to me that I learnt all the words on the first page off by heart! You can have a sneaky peak at this book in my class or on Amazon.

That's torn it!


Miss Johnston cut out rectangles from one centimetre squared paper.
She then counted how many squares the shapes took up. After this she tore a piece out of some of their shapes to make a puzzle for you to solve.
Can you work out how many squares there were in these shapes before the bit was torn out? 

(The orange, blue, green and yellow shapes were rectangles. The bottom two shapes, which are pale orange and purple, were each two rectangles joined together.)
