DT/Art and Literacy
Make a Roman soldier costume and write
accompanying instructions
We would like you to design and make your own
Roman soldier outfit. This could just be a
helmet, or you could even make a complete
outfit! After you have made your
helmet/costume, you also need to write clear
instructions of how to make it.
Literacy/DT
Write an information page about chariot racing
(and build a model chariot – optional!)
Gladiator battles and chariot-racing were
popular forms of entertainment for the Roman
masses, which tells us they really enjoyed
competitive sports – particularly violent ones! A
day out at the races was even more popular than
the gladiators. For your homework, please
research Roman chariot racing and write an
information text about it. You may also wish to
design and build a model chariot.

Maths
Draw a Roman villa floor plan and calculate the
area and perimeter of each room
Research the different rooms that there would
have been inside a Roman villa. Draw a floor plan
of your Roman villa (rectangular rooms) and
calculate the area and perimeter of each room
(you can decide the length and width of each
room in metres). You may wish to complete this on
squared paper, so 1cm=1m. Make sure you label
what each room is.
Please hand your homework project in by Monday 11th May (so you have three weeks worth of
homework time to complete it!)
If you need any basic resources such as paper, please speak to your teacher.
