Roman Day - Year 3 & 4
On Thursday, the children in Birch, Sycamore and Willow were greeted by their teachers dressed as Roman Emperors or Gladiators! The day started with maths - Roman style. We made clocks using roman numerals and learnt a great song to help us to count! (You can listen too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1UmAgekzbs)
After break time, we looked at the Roman myth of how Rome came into existence, called 'Romulus and Remus'.
In the afternoon, we took a virtual trip (using Google Earth) around the Colosseum! We learnt about the blood sports that took place there and could see more detail about this important feat of Roman Architecture that is almost 3000 years old!
After that, we made Roman sandals and helped create our class mosaic.
