Year 3 have been busy making Roman Shields as part of their Roman Invasion theme. They thought about the properties of the materials that the Romans would have used to make them really strong.

A Roman Soldier came to visit and brought his full size shield! After he shared lots of information with us about the soldiers and the army, Year 3 went into the hall and learnt to march like soldiers. They made a 'tortoise', this was how the Roman army sometimes marched to protect themselves.
