An Ancient Roman Soldier Visits Year 4!
An ancient Roman, from the Education Group, visited year 4, giving them a fantastic immersive experience to support their history topic.
A Roman soldier in full armour, Lucius Felix Silvanus, from 72AD, talked to the children about life as a gladiator, displaying weaponry and demonstrating the equipment used.
The children were led through a soldiers' drill and a mock barbarian battle. Lucius also described the food he ate, the way he bathed and how to play some Roman games.
The children really enjoyed this experience.
