Year 4 Roman Day

For our Roman Day, we all came into school dressed in Roman outfits. During the day, we took part in lots of activities to begin to learn about what life as a Roman soldier might be like. 

In the morning, we recapped some of our previous learning about Roman Numerals. We then designed our own Roman mosaic shields based on traditional designs, considering the meaning of each of the elements of the crest. We later created them ready for our battle in the afternoon.

After lunch, we went learnt how to march and move in a variety of different formations. Our favourites were The Tortoise, The Wedge and The Orb. Once we were confident with our formations, we had tag battles between the classes taking it in turns to act as the Romans and the unsuspecting Celts. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and are looking forward to learning more about the Romans.
