The romans also had toys like us, but they made them differently like knuckle bone where you have bones on your palm and then you throw them up and try catch them on the other side of your hand. They had yo yo’s as well as us but they made them of wood. Romans skipped like us with skipping ropes but the ones we use are made of plastic and there’s is made of rope. They also play board games and one of the games is called rota and it is like three in a row.

Gladiators were slaves that fought in wars

Chariot races is all about horses, ponies, carts and racing. sixteen horses raced in the  arena. They had different teams white, red, green, blue teams . They did seven laps around the arena.

The romans liked to watch gladiators for entertainment.

Gladiators were people who fought wild animals chained to stumps of wood and other gladiators but sometimes slaves. The place that gladiators fought was called an Erna but the huge one in Rome was called the coliseum. It was very dangerous because the animals were very really quite fierce. They fought tigers, lions and bears. It was very risky being a gladiator and often ended in death.

Gladiators were fierce warriors that fought animals and people to the end.

P123 are still enjoying spending time in the woodlands (in all weathers!) and decided to make pictures of living things from things we found. Hope you can easily see the snail, the deciduous tree, the evergreen tree, the dragonfly and the human face!
