The Romans - 2010 Project
We wanted to decorate the entrance to our classroom in the Roman style.
Innes is keen to learn all he can about Roman Britain.
Jack, Cameron and Andrew were making a roman aqua duct.
We're all enjoying our Roman project. Innes, Ben and Louise love looking for new information.
Mosaics were very common in rich roman houses so we have been making some of our own.
Roman children used to wear a bulla around their neck to ward off evil and keep them safe. Sewing is a bit tricky but we are getting there!
The class really enjoy learning all about the Romans.
We made Roman advertisements just like estate agents would do nowadays.
Lots of Roman coins were found in Scotland. We made some of our own.
The class loved making mosaics.
This is how togas looked (on very thin people). The laurel head dress is also very dapper.
Some interesting Roman buildings and architecture now. Remember you can see pictures from modern day Rome if you look at Angus' trip to the Coliseum
Bulla's worn by Roman children.
As part of our Roman topic we have been making power point presentations. Katie, Sophie M and Keryn have been teaching us about the Celts. Sophie O and Sophie H made their presentation on Roman life, while the boys prefered to learn about Roman soldiers.
We have been making Jewelary to wear with our roman costumes on Thursday when the parents come in.
Sophie made this chariot.
There are lots of Roman towns with the endings caster or chester, we have been using the atlas to make a list of them.
Enterprise
The catering dept have been very busy today baking Ancient Roman Apple cake for the parents to taste tomorrow at our open day. Lots of hungry people followed the delicious smell to our classroom hoping for a bit. However they will have to wait until tomorrow.
The archive dept have been practising using the equipment to record the day.
Interviews with a gladiator
life sized figures
We have been comparing Roman food with our own. Did you know they ate peacocks tongues and dormouse?
We wrote a newspaper report about a missing Gladiator. We had work out how he escaped.
