Ancient Rome

In our theme, Ancient Civilisations, we are learning about Ancient Rome.

We made catapults using soft drink cans, forks and rubber bands.  They projected tinfoil weapons in a similar way to the military catapults used by the armies in Ancient Rome.

Instead of books, people in Ancient Rom read from scrolls.  We made our own scrolls so we could read Roman numerals and phrases in Latin, like 'Adsum" which means "I am here" when we answer the roll.
