The Roman Box

A box has been found, in a field, by a farmer. It is ornately carved and has two handles, but the farmer cannot seem to open it. What could it be? What could be inside it? 

An archaeologist was called. He completed a survey and found that their used to be a Roman Villa on the land. An expert in Roman archaeology was asked to help and she knew how to open the box ...

We jumped back in time, to the point where the box was buried.

 A lady and her extended family in their villa, protected by their one guard. Her husband is a general in the Roman army and her eldest son is a soldier.

They are fearful because they do not know what is happening. There is a terrible noise outside the villa. They are afraid of the Iceni people.

The lady buries her box with some of the family treasures. Outside she can hear the battle cry, 'We want revenge'.

The guard does his best to protect the family.

Some of the Iceni want to burn the villa for revenge. Some do not want to, because there are women and children inside. What would you do?

Reporting live!

With such exciting news happening here at East Harling Primary School, we thought more people should be aware. So, with the help of our very own cameraman - Toby Hough - we went on location to report on the events of the last couple of weeks. As well as reporting, we were able to have a go at one of the other important camera crew jobs, if we wanted to. 

Come back soon to see some of the reports!

The egg hatched!

Well we decided to leave the egg overnight, but ended up leaving it for three nights, over the weekend. When we returned on Monday, the egg had hatched!

We took photographs ... 

 then collected the evidence ...

 and took it inside.

A most unusual find ...

After Mrs Burton visited Oak Class, asking whether Miss BB had been making prank phone calls again, the children decided to go out and about to investigate the unusual sighting that had been reported.

 They were astonished to find something unusual in the nest area, with some large bones scattered around. What on earth was it and who had left it there?

There was also some unusual, fiery orange stuff on some of the logs.

A debate was started about what to do with the egg. Should it be left alone, or should it be brought in to the warm? There were lots of different opinions ...

 so we had a decision alley...

...and decided to leave it overnight, then bring it in.
