Project: "Medieval bakers"

“Bread was the basis of the medieval diet” and we will make bread as mediaevals.

Firstly, we will watch the video in order to understand how they made it.

We will read a replica Middle Ages peasant horsebread recipe made with heritage wheat and legumes. Inspired by Ken Follett’s book Pillars of the Earth.

Ingredients

100 grams dried yellow split peas

200 grams lively sourdough starter

450 grams Dove’s Farm Heritage Wholegrain flour

50 grams pea flour

10grams dried seaweed (or salt)

350 ml water

Instructions

Wash dried yellow split peas and place them in a medium sized bowl. Cover with water and leave overnight to soak.
Take sourdough starter out of the fridge and leave overnight to get to room temperature.
The next morning, mix together the starter, flours, seaweed (or salt) and water until a thick wet dough forms. Leave, covered, in the bowl for 3 hours or more.
Meanwhile, drain and dry split peas. Coarsely chop them and set aside.
Turn dough out onto a floured board, adding extra heritage flour so that a workable dough forms. Knead in the chopped split peas and form into a loaf.
Using extra heritage flour, make sure the sides of the banneton are well coated to prevent sticking. Place loaf in banneton and leave to rise for at least 4 hours.
Place a large baking tray in the oven and heat oven to its highest setting (around 230 C)
When the oven is hot enough, remove tray, sprinkle with more heritage flour and turn loaf out of the banneton.
Score loaf with a sharp knife and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Turn out on a wire rack to cool

Then we will google a bread recipe and share it at TEAMs. Children will cook the bread at their homes and record a video explaining the process. Their videos will be uploaded to our virtual-classroom.

Roman Empire project

Share a History project or activity which brings History into the classroom. If you want to use any other images teaching a geographical or historical process feel free to use it. Project: Roman cities Level: 3 rd course of Primary Education This project is closely related to Unit 7 in which we have learnt about modern cities and how they are distributed (modern district, historical centre and suburbs) and so, we can compare the differences between the buildings and streets in roman times and nowadays (size, shape, materials…). First of all, we are going to watch next video in which it is said how the roman empire was founded and there is a brief explanation about roman cities. After watching the video, I will divide the class in groups of four or five. Along two weeks, we are going to elaborate different roman cities with recycled materials such as, tetrapacks, empty bottles, containers, tins, cardboards, papers… To do that, I have prepared a Powerpoint for the

Water Cycle Activity

Hello everyone! I will like to explain one activity that is related to social science content and it is the water cycle. This activity is aimed at the children’s of Primary school learning the vocabulary on the topic of Social Science “The Water Cycle”, to be more precise they will get acquainted with its 4 stages: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Collection. The students will eventually do both oral and writing activities which will consist in their presentation and further explanation of each of the stages of the water cycle. After the explicit explanation of the teacher of the stages of “The Water Cycle”, firstly the students are going to do a small test in writing, where they will be given a certain picture representing the basic notions of the topic, they will have to fill in the gaps, writing down the names of the elements of the topic. Then they will be divided into groups of 4, each group will be given the task to explain a certai
