Year 4 - Roman Roads (Edible form!)

Despite all the changes and uncertainty in the world, Year 4 had a blast learning about how important Roman roads were and how some are still present today. We learnt about the different layers within the road, whilst also learning the purpose of the materials and the camber used. 

 

To to make it a lot more interesting, we went on to make it out of things we could eat!  Crushed up biscuits formed the foundations and represented the sand, Shreddies and custard formed the boulders and cement, smarties formed the slate layer and it was all topped off with a custard cream to represent the paving slabs!

 

This was certainly enjoyed by each pupil as you can see from the photos!
