It may have been our last week before the half-term but Year 3 have still been mega busy with lots of learning so it was really nice to capture some of our Year 3 children ‘playing Romans’ on the playground … Max (a Roman soldier) capturing Nasrin (a Celtic rebel) to make her a slave actually looked way more fun than the textbooks make it sound!
As well as playing, we have been finding out about the Roman army and what life was like as a soldier … why not ask us if we’d rather be a legionary or an auxiliary soldier? And, we’ve been using both primary and secondary sources to learn about slavery in the Roman empire too … you could ask us if all Roman slaves were treated the same, and if they could ever find freedom?
