Powerpoint showing several photos of Roman shields that I made leading into an activity where children design their own Roman shield based on certain criteria. (UPDATE: Mac / ipad Keynote included.) A rough weekly plan is also included The children went on to design their own Roman Shields and then made then with cardboard and painted them. Perfect for giving them ideas! UPDATE: I have now included a completely unique animated Roman timeline I made that can be included in your own presentations as I have converted to movie format. UPDATE: An excellent video included to do with tactics used in Roman times

A Powerpoint to support the sketching of ‘winter trees.’ I made this for a year 3/4 class to show them examples of winter trees (with no leaves) for discussion before going outside and sketching real life trees. In addition there are some images I used as a print out for the children to discuss and refer to, these may help teachers with the demonstration of the technique too. I have also included an additional Powerpoint I have made with non-commercial pictures of winter trees to show children.
