Chocolate Roman Roads
This week we have been thinking about how the Romans helped to shape our lives today. The Romans were the first to build proper roads in Britain. We had a go at making our own Roman Roads, but a much more interesting version! If you would like to have a go at making your own Chocolate Roman Road then follow the instructions below, written by Charlie Pass:
How to make a CHOCOLATE Roman Road
Have you ever wondered how the Romans built their roads? If yes, then read these instructions and you might be able to make your own tasty, edible version.
What you need:
- Muesli
- Fig roll
- White KitKat
- Maltesers
- Oreos
What you do:
- First put muesli in the cup. That stands for the rubble that the Romans used at the very bottom, once they had dug a trench.
- Secondly put the fig roll in. This is like the layer of concrete.
- Next Carefully place the KitKat on top of the fig roll. They are a mixture of stones and concrete
- After that, place the maltesers (which are the large stones) and try to make sure that they don’t roll away.
- Finally, lay the Oreo biscuit like you would smooth paving stones.
Don’t eat it all at once or you might be sick. Make sure that you share with your friends.
Early Years Stay & Play
This week the children in our Reception and Nursery classes shared their learning with their parents.
We held a stay and play session all about the area of learning of Communication & Language.
Spies!
As part of our topic children have been learning about spies in WW2. Any one recognise these spies?
Year 6 are building model Anderson Shelters!
Amazing what paint and cardboard can make.
Goodbye Anderson Shelter
This week year 6 watched our Anderson Shelter being dismantled. We all have fond memories of it in class. Look at some of the things we put in it.
Children in Need Ramble
We had a great ramble around Astbury Mere today. We saw lots of nature: bird nests, ducks, swans and different coloured leaves.
Whole school ramble for Children in Need
What a super Friday we have had at Marlfields!
We all went on a walk around Astbury Mere to raise money for Children in Need wearing our winter coats and wellies. Coco the therapy dog came with us too, she is such a friendly dog!!
When we got back we had a hot chocolate, a cake and talked about what we had been up to. We were very tired after that so Mrs Bennett and Miss Langford had a peaceful afternoon… yeah right!
Children In Need Ramble
Making our own switches.
In Science club this week to link with ‘Switch off fortnight’ the children were given a challenge. The challenge was to make a circuit and then create a switch using household materials. The children used tinfoil, paper clips, split pins and card to do this. They all did a fantastic job and had fun too!
