Your challenge is to create a comic strip about the Romans. It could be about the gods and goddesses, a roman soldier, a gladiator or everything else that you have learnt about them.

You can use the template here blank-comic-strip-activity or you can complete the task in your jotter or on a piece of paper.

Task 2 – ART/TECHNOLOGY – Roman laurel wreath

Your challenge is to make a Roman laurel wreath.

Find out about Rulers of Rome here: Rulers of Rome and laurel wreaths

Here are the instructions for making a Roman laurel wreath: fun-at-home-laurel-wreath

You can use white paper then colour it in green. You can be imaginative by making it in a different way! If you do not have the resources to make one, you can draw it instead.

I hope you have fun!

Primary 7 Monday 8th June PM

Good afternoon @Primary 7, I hope you’ve enjoyed the Inventions Project or your Transition work this morning. This afternoon we have some Topic/IDL work for you and some HWB.

Today’s Topic Work:

After the PE and HWB focus of Mrs Lafferty’s Virtual Sports Fortnight, we return to our Canada/Scotland topic. Today we are going to look at Climate. Now with Canada being the second largest country in the world with some of it lying inside the Arctic Circle, it has many different climates. Scotland also has many Islands that don’t get quite the same climate as the rest of Mainland Scotland so we are simply going to compare two cities.

I have included tables of average monthly rainfall and temperature information for Toronto and Edinburgh. Your job is to create graphs to display this information. You should remember doing this during our Rainforest topic at the start of the year.

Here is a little video that shows you what to do:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv6yHl0LpgM

And a PPT with a bit of information:

Climate-Graphs-PPT

Now the information you need to create the graphs is in this pdf:

Climate Comparison

If you can print out the graph paper great but don’t worry if you can’t. A piece of paper and a ruler will be enough – you saw in the video he didn’t use graph paper. If you know how or have someone who can help – you could use a spreadsheet(Excel) to create the graphs or there are even online sites that help you make your own graphs too. https://www.onlinecharttool.com/graph

I’m looking forward to seeing how you manage as at high schools you’ll be making graphs in Maths, Science, Geography and ICT!

Today’s HWB Work:

We continue with our Beano work and bouncebackability. The focus is on Responsible Use of Mobile Phones. How many of you have fallen out with a friend over a text message? How often was that because the meaning of the text wasn’t as clear as if you had been speaking directly to the person? Lots of misunderstanding come this way. Who has been sitting on a bus and had to listen to a stranger’s full conversation because they are talking loudly? Who has been in public and had to listen to someone else’s music because they aren’t wearing earphones? Who has been in church and heard a phone ring? Mobile phones are great, they let us stay connected to our family and friends but we need to use them considerately. Use the Extension Worksheet to create a comic showing a problem that can arise from inconsiderate use of mobiles.
