On Y4 Roman Day, all Year 4 students engaged in an enriching experience led by Luke the Roman. The day commenced with a captivating discussion where children absorbed a wealth of information about Roman soldiers, notable emperors, the complexities of slavery, and the intriguing use of poison in historical contexts.
To bring history alive, pupils participated in a dramatic enactment uniting as an army, complete with their imaginative chariots, obeying the emperor).
