We have been learning about the Roman army and were excited to try on a typical helmet that a Roman soldier would wear. We were surprised at how heavy it was. We know that the hairy part is called the plume and it was there to make the soldiers look more manly.

Chariot Challenge
Miss Crease and Miss Woods were extremely impressed by the hard work and effort that went into our homework challenge. We used lots of household recycled materials to create Roman chariots as part of our class topic. We enjoyed explaining to our classmates how we made them. Finlay even made a Circus Maximus!
Owen’s grandad kindly provided a Roman soldier’s outfit to show the class. Owen felt like a real gladiator!
Thank you to all family members for helping your children to create such amazing masterpieces! We will be showcasing these to P4 on Friday morning.
Homework Challenge- build a Roman chariot.
As part of our homework, Miss Woods and Miss Crease have set us a challenge! We have been asked to design and build a Roman chariot using everyday materials from home.
We looked at photos and video clips of Roman chariots and learned how and why they were used by the Romans.
We have to bring our chariots into school by next Friday 14th February. Photographs will follow…
If we find this challenge a little bit too difficult, our teachers said that we could draw a labelled diagram of a Roman chariot instead.
