The workshop took place towards the end of our topic and was used to enhance pupil experience of The Romans. A facilitator came with props and delivered two-hour long workshops for year 3 which incorporated facts (about buildings, inventions, Gods) and stories (Romulus and Remus).

They were in the format of game shows and talent shows which was creative in getting all the children active in learning. They performed to each other and took on roles during the workshops. The pupils enjoyed the experience and were able to explore the story of Romulus and Remus. They were able to consolidate their knowledge of Roman Gods, lifestyle, entertainment and justice. Enthusiastically, pupils retold the events that took place in the Colosseum and theatre.

Overall, feedback from pupils was that the day was helpful in their learning and also provided them with some additional knowledge.
