Today we set off with the idea we were roaming Romans, exploring this new land. It was most exciting as we climbed out of the school grounds onto the old railway line (no trains since 1966 or so). The land pressed us in and we thought that there may be some Celt / Boudicea led attack. We scrambled up a bank, through fencing, then down again sliding on leaves and mud, to go and collect some bamboo to make Roman forts. Everyone had a lot of fun, reenacting this historical event! Imaginations were very vivid and I hope that the students will study the Romans with even more passion in the classroom!
