Roman Workshops for Schools
The Roman ExperienceA one day workshop focusing on the Roman Invasion of Britain,
why they came here, what they did when they got here
and what they left us with.
Invasion!
The day starts with a surprise invasion of the classroom - soldiers are immediately recruited, slaves will be taken and the classroom is plundered (hide your pencils and rubbers!)
Slaves
We visit a slave market where the wealthy citizens of the classroom will have money to buy a slave of their own.

artefacts,the children make thier
own Roman coins to take
home and keep.
