Fighting the Romans. Task nº4: Boudicca´s puzzles.

We had worked on Boudicca´s story. It was time to see what we had learnt...

* We divided the class in 4 groups of 5 pupils each (the groups for this month).

* Every group had to create two puzzles based on the vocabulary of the Boudicca´s story script, using the tool: Discovery School PuzzleMaker. This is the link.

* Once they had created them, the agent of every group had to print 3 copies of each of his or her group´s puzzles using the class printer. Then he or she gave one copy to the agent of other 3 groups.

Each group must solve the puzzles created by the other groups in 30 minutes.
