Y4 – History off the Page

This week, the teachers in Y3 and Y4 ran a virtual ‘History off the Page’ Roman series of activities….
Making a mosaic tile. We tried to make our design symmetrical.

We learned how Romans went to the toilet together in a latrine and that they used a sponge on a stick to wipe their bottoms then when all was done they put it in a bowl of vinegar, ready to be used by the next Roman! We acted this out with a lot of fun!

We made counters out of grey and red clay in preparation for a Roman board game.

Playing a game we made called Nine Mens Morris. We made the pieces and the board.

We wrote our names in Roman letters on papyrus using a stylus and black paint.
