In the Autumn term, we learnt about soldiers in the Roman army, including their uniforms and equipment. Following this we made our own Roman sandals.
First of all, we made a paper template by measuring around our foot and deciding on a style. We made sure it fitted our foot before progressing to the next stage.
Next, we carefully cut our template apart into the sole and the upper, including straps. This created the pattern pieces for the sandal. We drew around the pattern pieces onto card (for the upper and lower sole) and onto leatherette (for the upper and straps).
We chose coloured felt for the inner and glued onto the upper sole. Studs (paper fasteners) were inserted into the lower sole. The upper and straps were glued onto the upper sole. These were held in place by clips until the glue was dry.
Finally, the upper and lower soles were glued together, again held by clips. When they had dried, eyelets were inserted and the sandals were finished with laces.
Here are some of our finished sandals:
In September, Year 5 visited Magna Science Adventure Centre. The day began with an exciting forces workshop and demonstration – the highlight for most children seemed to be the rocket launches and explosions.
Afterwards, the classes had time to explore the different zones (Earth, Fire, Water & Air). There were plenty of hands-on activities in each zone to educate and engage everyone. Some children managed to get quite wet in the water zone!
