Yesterday we had the most wonderful afternoon. As we have come to the end of our Roman Topic we decided to celebrate by having a Roman Feast. We prepared some simple Roman food and set the table using Roman style pottery and silver goblets. We dressed in Roman style clothing and the girls even had their hair styled in the Roman fashion by our own resident hairdresser, Lindsay.

We invited our wonderful parents/carers and Nathan spontaneously welcomed them in. We all watched our own Movie, Hadrian Battle, The Movie 2019 which we’d filmed previously when the children used the swords and shields they’d made to have their own Roman battle. (unfortunately there weren’t many Celts around so they practised on each other!)

We then joined in with our favourite songs all about the Romans and all that they brought with them. There was much enthusiastic singing and role playing. We finished by joining with a Roman dance to the tune of “We Will Rock You”!

Just before we were about to eat, Nathan spontaneously stood up and told the audience all about what we knew about the Romans. He was absolutely amazing. It was then time for the Roman Feast. We use silver plates and goblets and also drank “Roman wine” (sparkling apple juice) We didn’t sit at a table as that’s not the Roman way. Instead we lounged on bean bags and enjoyed socialising with each other.

It was the most brilliant way to end our topic. We’re going to miss those Romans!

We hope you have a peaceful Easter break. Thank You for your continued support. We really do appreciate it.

Babs, Lindsay, Jess and Ann.
