Easy to make Roman / Greek Temple model - nets and instructions.
Suitable for Y3 upwards (dependent on ability and available help).
Does require 6 x 8cm straws (paper works best).
11 (A4) Telling time worksheets: analogue / roman numerals.
About 18 questions per page with grid pattern for ease of marking.
Answers provided below for self-marking (but can be trimmed off).
Useful for homework, revision, introduction, formative assessment.
Instructions and A4 printable templates to make an Egyptian War Chariot from card. Doesn’t require extra resources (pictured without), although can work better with 2 x 11cm paper straws and roughly 11cm by 6cm of corrugated / thicker card. If doing with an entire class - be careful about not losing bits! (Or have spares ready.)
Twelve 10x10 grids with co-ordinate instructions for colouring each square. When completed and combined, these form the complete 30x40 picture of a Greek vase / pot.
Ideal as an activity for a class to reignite interest in co-ordinates or revise learning. Starter, extension or applied task! A satisfying end-product which has been contributed to by a team.
(I have also used these exercises to illustrate points about working together and needing others to combine their efforts.)
I used to print 3-4 sets to allow early finishers to complete a second grid. This also ensures that you have a neat version of each of the 12 grids.
Alternatively, give one square to a child each day as a calming activity and allow them to complete the picture themselves over 12 sessions!
The fun thing is: complex Roman mosaics were often pre-built in sections which were then assembled on-site, so there is historical precedent!
Don’t worry if a mistake is made - Roman mosaics always had at least 1 intentional mistake as they believed that trying to make a mosaic perfect would be challenging the gods! So a mistake just adds authenticity!
Includes ‘pre-coloured’ completed squares at the back in event of emergency.
