P3/2 are really enjoying the Roman Families topic and are excited about their trip to Callander house which will be in a few weeks. This week we have been looking at life in a Roman school and we have been thinking about all the differences between our school and a Roman school. Everyone has found it fascinating that only rich children got to go to school and that their school uniform did not inclde ties but Togas! Our class discussion surrounding the length of time Roman children had to go to school was very interesting. Roman children had to go to school 7 days a week and most of us thought that this was terrible! We made Venn diagrams to show the differences and similarities between Our School and a Roman school. The main difference was of course technology and we decided that pupils in a Roman school would not have had the opportunity to watch a new part of the school building being built as we are at Balbardie which is very exciting! We look forward to showing off all the information we have learned at our open morning on Friday 28th February between 11 am and 12 noon.
