Weekly project:
We are continuing to think about the food that we eat. This time, I’d like you to look at the foods that you eat and find out where in the world they come from (not Tesco or Aldi!). A lot of the information will be on the packets. If not, you may have to do a bit of research to find out where it is grown, or made. For example: today I had some cheese that was made in France, some bread made with English flour, lettuce from Spain, tomatoes from England and olives (my favourite) from Greece. Then plot the foods and the countries they come from on to the world map.
Active/creative time:
PE: PE with Joe Wicks at 9 on youtube each weekday morning. You might not do this every day, but try to go for a walk or cycle ride on the days when you don’t.
Cooking: How did you get on with making pizza last week? This week try to make a pizza, or a sandwich, that will be incredibly healthy. What ingredients will you include to make sure it is well-balanced?
Outside art work: Find something natural in your garden – a flower, or a leaf for example.
Draw a picture around it so that it turns into something else. (Examples using a blade of grass and a flower.)

Below are 3 sections from a non-chronological report about the Romans.
Look at each paragraph and sum up the key ideas using bullet points. I have done the
first one for you as an example.
The Romans
Roman Villas
Villas were originally built as houses for wealthy Romans in Italy. When they invaded
Britain, some of the Romans started to build them here too. These villas were like country
mansions today. They had exquisite living areas with mosaic tiled floors and luxury gardens
planted with trees and shrubs. The insides of the villas were
beautifully decorated- the floors in these homes would also
have been kept warm, as the Romans had their own design
of heating underneath the floor. This was similar to the
central heating which we have in our homes today. The
floors were laid on top of columns so that warm air from a
furnace could be pumped into the spaces underneath.
Example:
The section is about Roman Villas.
Built for rich Romans in Italy
Some built in Britain
Like mansions
Rich living areas with mosaics and gardens
Nicely decorated inside and centrally heated
Hot air pumped around the space under the floor
Now you summarise the next 2 sections. You can write your bullet points into your books.
Remains of an underfloor heating
system.
Roman Life
In Roman times most children did not go to school. Because it wasn’t free, parents had to
pay for their child’s education. Therefore, only rich children went to school. Poor children
learnt a trade from their fathers as they could not afford their education. Boys would learn
the jobs that their fathers did like being a baker or a metalworker. Girls were taught
household skills like weaving, spinning, sewing and cooking from their mothers.
For the Romans, men and women weren’t equal. If you were a male, you could do any job
which you wanted, including becoming an emperor. However, women were kept busy
looking after their families and homes.
Roman Baths
Romans liked to bathe a lot, they considered themselves very clean people and they build
splendid bath houses. They did not only go to the public baths to get clean but also to meet
with friends and exercise. There were also places to eat, rest, play games and read at the
baths. The public baths were not free and people had to pay to go there but it was quite
cheap. Men and Women bathed in separate baths. There were baths in every town in the
Roman Empire. Since they were rich, the villa owners would have their own baths in their
homes. The Roman baths were very cleverly made as they always had to have a constant
supply of water. The water was either piped in or brought to the town by an aqueduct. In
some places like Bath in Somerset a natural spring would provide the bath with its water.
Water was heated by the central heating system similar to the ones Romans used in their
homes, this was called a hypocaust system. There were three parts to a Roman bath the
cold bath called the frigidarium, the warm bath called the
tepidarium and the hot bath called the caldarium. In order to
get clean, the Romans would use the hot room and a slave
would rub sweet oil on them and scrape it off with an
instrument called strigil which looked like a knife but did not
have a sharp blade.
A strigil used to scrape the oil
off the body
