Willow Class had a fantastic Roman Day last week! The company Hands on History came into school with numerous artefacts and replicas in which they creatively showed the children. They learnt of where the Roman fit in the historic timeline first, with fascinating objects from each main era. They also learnt about Roman jobs and how they learnt to make fire! After that, the children got to partake in a battle (against the teachers!) where they got to hold Roman shields and march in formation. The afternoon started with learning about what the Romans wore (dressing up the teachers!) and how they cured people if they were ill. And the day finished with a gory finale where poor Mr Lulham (East Hoathly’s Year 3 and 4 teacher) had his leg amputated (a dramatic illusion of course)! Overall, they had a brilliant day not to be forgotten!
