Children used wire to to create the circular shape of the Colosseum, then used mod roc to create the shape of the walls. We cut two doors for the ‘life’ and ‘death’ entrances. children then painted on their designs.
Trip to Binchester Roman Fort
To start our Roman topic we visited Binchester Roman Fort to experience Roman times. The class explored the impressive remains of a Roman bath house and they walked in the footsteps of soldiers around the remains of the Commander’s House. They became archaeologists and excavated earth to find Roman artefacts, had a chance to dress as Roman soldiers, designed mosaics and made clay pots.
