This week in class we have been learning about the Roman army, so Miss Woods brought in a replica of a real Roman soldier’s helmet. Some of us were lucky enough to try it on. Brandon and Sarah said that it was very heavy. We understand now how strong the Roman soldiers had to be, as not only did they wear a helmet, they also wore a suit of armour and had to carry weapons, a shield and personal belongings.

Learning is fun at the local library!
Primaries 3 and 3/2 visited Broxburn library to find out about our new topic The Romans. The friendly librarian, Diane, prepared posters which included lots of interesting information about life in Roman times. Diane was dressed up as a Roman and she invited Ehlana and Sean to dress up too. They wore a toga and a head piece made from a plant. Traditionally, Romans wore sandals with laces tied around their legs. We enjoyed our visit to the library and Diane made the learning fun! We brought books and posters back to school to continue our learning. This is going to be a great topic!
