P1-4 went on a journey through time today as part of their ‘Life Long Ago’ topic. They experienced a History Alive workshop exploring the Roman Era.\u00a0 Kathryn delighted the boys and girls by dressing up as a Roman Centurion.\u00a0 She displayed a range of authentic artefacts and weapons for the children to explore.\u00a0 Our Roman visitor then shared many facts about Roman traditions, culture and lifestyle.\u00a0 The children were given an opportunity to be hands-on by dressing up and engaging in role play.\u00a0 There was much discussion on what life must have been like and how it compares to life today.<\/p>\n
Here are some quotes from the girls and boys recounting their experience:<\/p>\n
“I asked a lot of questions about lots of different kinds of things.\u00a0\u00a0 My favourite thing to do was dress up\u00a0as a rich Roman lady.\u00a0\u00a0 After dressing up I went to hold a sword and it was really heavy!\u00a0\u00a0 Ava Lily.<\/p>\n
“The Roman visitor brought some Roman weapons like swords and spears and some armour. After that, we got to play because the Roman visitor brought Roman costumes and some Celts costumes. We play- fought with fake spears.\u00a0 It was very fun. We got to try lift very heavy armour.”\u00a0 Finlay Schofield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
