On Monday the 21st of November, on quite a chilly day! Team AC went to a place called Murton Park, to learn all about the Romans. All of the children were super excited to get on a coach, some for the first time ever! When we got to Murton Park we were greeted by a Roman man who got us into 4 groups and told us some Roman words to use when walking, Romans used the Latin words sin and dex for left and right.
When addressing the roman Centurian we had to say "yes Centurian"! We marched to what be our Roman camp for the day (sin, dex, sin, dex.) The children were shown to their barracks and got dressed in a Roman smock and rope. We were shown around the many buildings. Through the day we took turns in our groups; we made an oil lamp they had in Roman times to light up rooms, using clay. We wrote a contract using Roman letters and numerals. We learnt to be in the Roman army, we used a sword and shield to attack a sandbag and threw javelins at the enemy. Later we all came together to march and scare off the Celts. The barracks where the homes Romans would have lived in and as such, we had dinner in them, stored our belongings and got in and out of our Roman clothes in there too. We left with lots of Roman knowledge that we didn't have before, lots of new Roman words, things that we have made through the day and a days pay in a replica Roman coin. We went back to the coach a little cold, wet and tired but after having a fantastic day. All of Team AC were amazing and should be so proud of themselves for how they behaved for the whole day, because all of the teachers and assistants in Team AC are super proud of them!
