To celebrate the end of their Roman topic, Year 4 transformed Coleham into a bustling corner of Roman Britain! Dressed in Roman costume, the children experienced life as Romans, taking part in legionary combat training, creating mosaic art and creating Roman legionary shields.
With shields raised, feet marching and creativity flowing, it was a brilliant day of hands-on learning that helped everyone discover what it might have been like to live in Roman times.
Fun Fact: The Romans had a settlement at nearby Wroxeter, just outside Shrewsbury, known as Viroconium Cornoviorum. It became one of the largest towns in Roman Britain and was once home to impressive bath houses, shops and public buildings.
