Monday Project - Activity one What was life like in ancient Rome? There are lots of questions we have about ancient Rome, use your fantastic reading skills to investigate the past. How did Rome begin? The Romans had a story about how their city began. According to legend, Rome was founded by twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, who were the sons of the god Mars. As babies, the boys were left to drown in the River Tiber by their evil uncle, but they were rescued by a wolf. When the boys were older, they took revenge on their uncle and killed him. Afterwards, the twins decided to start a new city, but they squabbled about where to build it. Romulus wanted to build it on the Palatine Hill and Remus preferred the Aventine Hill. To find out who was right, they looked for a sign from the gods. However, they couldn't agree on that either and both thought the gods were favouring them. One day, the twins got in a fight after Remus made fun of Romulus. Remus was killed and Romulus named the new city 'Roma' after himself!

Can you make a comic that shows and explains the story of Romulus and Remus? 10

Wednesday: English – grammar Teaching slide and activity

Wednesday Project - Activity two Who ruled Rome? In the early days, Rome was ruled by kings. Romulus was supposedly the first king. The last king was Tarquin the Proud. He ruled until 509 BC, when the people of Rome drove him out. Rome then became a republic. The republic didn’t allow one person to have complete control of the city. Instead, a group of men called senators shared power. As the Roman republic grew more powerful, so did its army. The senators could not always control the army and sometimes they clashed with the generals. In 49 BC, Rome’s greatest general was Julius Caesar. He had complete control of the army, but he wanted to rule Rome like a king again. Some senators didn’t like this and they killed him in 44 BC. But it was too late, Julius Caesar had changed Rome. A few years later, his adopted son Octavius took power and became the first Emperor of Rome. .

What did the Romans believe? The Romans were always trying to keep on the good side of their gods. They made offerings at temples and shrines to make them happy. They also borrowed new gods from the people they conquered, like the goddess Isis from Egypt and Mithras from Iran. Some emperors were declared gods too, usually after they died. They hoped this would make emperors even more powerful and respected. Later on the Romans became Christians. Christianity was made the official religion of the Roman Empire by the Emperor Constantine in the 4 th century AD. Before then, Christians got into trouble because they refused to worship the emperor as a god. Some Christians were arrested and put to death.

Thursday: English – Activity 2 For this weeks writing task, you are going to retell of the story of Romulus and Remus. But first, let’s explore the features of a retell. 20

Read this detailed retell of the story to help you plan yours on the following page: When the king of Alba Longa died, his brother Amulius seized power. Amulius had his nephews killed. Amulius’ niece Rhea Silver fell in love with Mars, the god of war had twins. Rhea Silver was imprisoned and the twins were placed in the river Tiber. A wolf discovered the twins and cared for them. A shepherd found the boys and decided to look after them. He named them Romulus and Remus was kidnapped by Amulius’ men. Romulus went to rescue his twin and in the process, killed Amulius. The city offered the brothers the joint crown. Romulus and Remus wanted to build their own city but couldn’t agree on where to build it. They started fighting and Romulus killed his twin. Romulus started to build his city. It was finished on 21 st April 753 BCE. Romulus made himself King and named the city ‘Rome’ after himself. https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=ek 2 i. Ff.

Friday: English – spelling Ask a member of your household to test you on how well you have learnt this week’s spellings. Good luck!

Friday Project - Activity five Mosaics The floors of Roman buildings were often richly decorated with mosaics. Mosaics were made from tiny coloured stones which they called tesserae. Mosaics have been found that show scenes of history, as well as everyday Roman life. Mosaic floors were a statement of how wealthy and important you were. Poor people would not be able to afford them. The bigger and more detailed the mosaic, the more impressive. Each mosaic used thousands of pieces to make a pattern.
