Roman Day

We have had a wonderful day today, learning lots of new skills and creating 

things that would have been used and eaten in Roman times. 

We were also lucky enough to look at some Roman artifacts that were found in Great Ellingham, by Mrs Harrison's younger brother, Matthew. We handled things that would have been held or worn by Roman, Anglo Saxon and Viking people, nearly 2000 years ago. Wow! 

More photos coming on Monday!

Roman bulla

Did you know that all children in Roman times were given a bulla? This is a special pouch to keep a lucky charm in, which would keep them safe from sickness and wicked spirits. The girls gave theirs to their husbands when they married and the boys stopped wearing theirs when they became a man and started wearing a toga.

We have been making our own today, showing concentration, perseverance and brilliant sewing skills.
