Roman Day

On Thursday 18th October, Kestrel class had a Roman day. Having already designed and made shields, the children made helmets in preparation for soldier training.





Roman soldiers have good appetites, so the children needed some sustenance and made some traditional Roman sweets, using dates, nuts, salt and honey. Some of them were even brave enough to try them!




Later in the afternoon the children practised marching and standing in battle lines and the famous tortuso defensive position.




After all that training they had earns some care free entertainment, and having made Roman coins could pay to watch The Rotten Romans. 



What a fabulous day!
