We would like to wish you all a Happy Easter! We hope you have had a wonderful weekend and that you have eaten lots of chocolate. We also hope that you are well and staying safe. We have missed you all. We have missed teaching you, talking to you, laughing with you and seeing all your wonderful smiles!
We understand that
these are very strange times but we would like you to try and still see the
next two weeks as the Easter holidays.
Therefore, we have suggested some activities that you might want to do
to keep yourselves busy and also a creative curriculum theme project.
Take care, stay
safe and keep smiling!

Maths
Each day White
Rose Maths are producing some creative Easter maths. Have a go…
Have you ever
wondered how the Romans built their roads or transported the water using
aqueducts? We would like you to learn
about them and then have a go at making one of them.
First, carry out
some research about Roman roads and aqueducts.
Here you will find information telling you all about roads and aqueducts.
Next, these two worksheets also tell you about them. Answer the questions in your book.
Finally, choose either Roman roads or aqueducts and have a go at creating a model at home using the things you can find around the house.
Here are some photos…
Creative fun
