Roman day
During our Roman day we learnt about what the Romans invented that we still use today, we then looked at real Roman artefacts including Roman coins Alison had found with a metal detector! We then had a real Roman maths lesson about Roman numerals and had an afternoon full of DT; making Roman biscuits and painting our Roman vases. We then finished the afternoon with a fantastic Roman feast included fish, olives, grapes, bread, (chocolate) door mice and even red wine (blackcurrant squash)!
