Today, Year 5 have immersed ourselves into our Roman day!
We began with making our own laurel wreaths, before taste-testing some of the ‘exotic fruits’ which the wealthy emperors would have been lucky enough to have feasted upon!
Finally, we built our own catapults, using wooden lollypop sticks, elastic bands and spoons. We had a competition in the hall, to see who could fire their catapults the furthest; focusing on forces such as tension and gravity, to propel objects across a distance.
