Your task is to focus on 3 kings and/or queens, find an image for each and record any interesting information you find out about them. All that you write must be in your own words, this shows that you have understood what you have read and researched.

You also need to find the answers to the 3 questions you asked in last week’s lesson.

My class are devling into the world of podcasting at the moment. They are really enjoying the project so far and are beginning to make some very creative podcasts on the theme of ancient Greek myths and legends.

We’re going to be using Audacity, which is free to download. It can look quite daunting when you open it up, particularly if you’re a complete beginner. I found a very useful tutorial by Jason Van Orden to help me get started. I think it’s quite child friendly too.

To those children who attended the Easter School this week (you know who you are!),

Thank you for all of your effort and hard work to make this year’s Easter School another success. You have ALL been a pleasure to work with. Keep up the hard work and remember that you’re welcome to use this site anytime for the maths games (just as long as you don’t have anything else to do!).

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
