Year 3 Roman Day

March 18, 2014
“Right, left, right, left..” came the chant of Roman soldiers marching through the school corridors as Year 3 began their Roman day by invading classrooms. After successfully conquering the school the children learnt more about the Roman invasion of Britain and had the opportunity to try on some equipment used by Romans and Celts.

In the afternoon, they were put through their paces with some Roman army marching drills and even had to defend themselves from an aerial bombardment in testudo formation. The children were also treated to a display of Roman weaponry as they saw a bow and arrow, sling shot and javelin in action. The day finished with a well earned Roman Feast where, in a one off change of role, the teachers acted as slaves serving the children.
