As part of our topic learning inspired by Diary of Iliona, Poplar Tree explored Roman food and daily life by preparing a traditional lentil and barley stew alongside Roman-style flatbreads. Using knowledge gained from our reading, the children made connections to how food was grown, prepared and enjoyed in Roman times. They also learned about the importance of food safety and hygiene while cooking. After preparing and tasting their dishes, the class proudly shared their creations with the school community by selling them at the end of the day—bringing history to life through a hands-on, delicious experience!
Here are some photos from our experience:
