As part of our History and English lessons, we did a Roman invasion re-enactment on the school playground. We practised marching carrying our rucksacks (heavy weapons that weigh 20kg) chanting "Dex, Sin!", just like the Romans did. We also tried to make different battle formations and took it in turn to be the Centurion leading drills for our century. Finally, we invaded a Celtic village where we learnt the importance of working together. 

We used this activity to help us to write diary entries as Roman soldiers - just wait until you see the finished products!
