Technology Challenge

For much of this term every class in the school has been focusing on the concept of "Special Places". Room 8 chose to study Ancient Rome and other ancient civilisations. One of the activities was a technology challenge. We were given the task of creating something made famous by the Romans. It had to be small enough to bring to school, made from materials you could find at home, and parents were encouraged to help. From the variety of choices that we brainstormed, many children chose to make a model of the coloseum, some made weapons or armour, and several children made a working catapult. We had to present our finished products to the class and give information about the thing we had made and how we went about making it. We are very proud of what was made and we were pleased to be able to share our work at last week's assembly.
