Many thanks to Mrs Livermore for her excellent tuition over the last five weeks. We feel privileged to have taken part in this and hope to see her back again next year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5054931809742603415-2945317308650035584?l=earlsohamschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EarlSohamCommunityPrimarySchoolBlog/~4/FGM6l9qhego" height="1" width="1"/>Earl Sohamhttps://profiles.google.com/111114544383360153282noreply@blogger.com1http://earlsohamschool.blogspot.com/2012/02/african-drumming-performance.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054931809742603415.post-39325219017164503172012-02-10T21:00:00.000Z2012-02-10T21:00:19.256Z2012-02-10T21:00:19.256ZRomans and Greeks DayOn Thursday we celebrated the culmination of our half-term's work on Romans in Blue Class, and Greeks in Yellow Class, with an activity day, in which the children were invited to dress as an Ancient Roman or Greek.<br />
<br />
In the morning in Blue Class, we prepared a range of Roman recipes which were taken from the <a href="http://cookit.e2bn.org/">E2BN Cookit!</a> website's History Cookbook. We worked in groups to produce a range of foods (most of which seemed to contain honey) including Bean and Chickpea Salad, Dates Alexandrine, Cucumeres, Tiger Nut Sweets and Honey Cake.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the afternoon, we dressed up and took in in turns to be slaves, handing around the food to our wealthy masters and mistresses, who were lounging on the floor in true Roman style.<br />

The banquet was followed by some Gladiatorial bouts using the shields, swords and armour that many of us had made for homework (with strict instructions <i><b>not</b></i> to <i>actually</i> cause each other any bodily injuries!)<br />

With adrenaline pumping we then set off to the hall where it was finally time to test the trebuchets we had been building in groups. Our target was the fort we produced last week, the ultimate test against marauding hordes!<br />
