Class 5's Roman Homework

This term, KS2 topic has been 'Journeys'.  As pat, of this topic, we have focused on a study of Ancient Roman history, and in particular, the story of the City of Pompeii.  The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, resulting in a pyroclastic flow in AD 79.
For homework, the children chose a variety of ways to develop their own learning through research, DT (making and baking), science experiments and literacy and, in the case of one group of boys, the entire city of Pompeii created on Minecraft .
The quality of work was so impressive and fascinating that we spent the afternoon, appreciating each other's efforts.  As a finale, we took our Mount Vesusvius' outside and recreated the great eruption of AD 79, this time using a combination of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda.

Below, you can see some pictures of the work of the children.  Please look and enjoy.
