This morning we attended Roman Army school and learnt about what life was like for a Roman child and the strict training routine they had to train to become one of the best armies EVER!

After break, we learnt about mosaics and how they were a sign of wealth in the Roman times. We had a go at making our own mosaics.

After lunch, we trooped out onto the school field DAX, SIN, DAX, SIN (left, right, left right) watching out for our enemy. We put everything we’d learnt in Roman Army School into practice, marching proudly around the school with our shields. Whist on the field we practiced different formations the Testudo formation (which is Latin for tortoise). the Orb and the Wedge. We then charged at the enemy down the bottom of the field and all made it safely to camp.

Before long, we were absolutely exhausted and ready for a break. (How did the Roman soldiers do it all day?!) Luckly for us, next it was the moment we’d all been waiting for… the feast! We gorged on Roman delights such as cheese, tomatoes, olives and grapes.

A fun and exciting day had by all!
