Year 3 Roman Training Day

The Year 3 topic Swords and Sandals celebrated the end of their term of work by holding a Roman Training Day at Cottesmore.  Children from Aldrington and Peter Gladwin schools joined us.  We took part in many activities such as Roman Drilling, Javelin (pilum) throwing.  We played knuckle-bones, made mosaics and fired onagers!  There was a best shield competition as well and we ended the day creating junk armour to show on the cat-walk!
 
 
 
As Romans, we also held a banquet when we dressed up in our togas.  We made laurel head dresses and dined on olives and delicious dormice!
