Aiming for the complete immersion into the domestic life of an Ancient Roman, Year 4 have been exploring food and cooking of the period. The children started last week by making their own clay cooking/serving pots using the coil method (also used by the Ancient Romans).
This week they designed their own Roman bread. The Year 4 children are now Roman bakers and have been given the brief to design a loaf that will appeal to the Ancient Roman people using flavours that would have been available during their Empire.
Year 4 have taste tested a number of flavours, including olives, herbs, seeds and dried fruit (all dietary requirements catered for) and now have chosen one or two to add to their bread. During the lesson they also explored bread shapes with Play-Doh.
Bread shape designed. Flavours sorted. We are ready to bake next week!
