Roman Life workshops
"Goodness me! We have covered so much in one day. Slaves, soldiers, scribes - we will be using this day as inspiration for the rest of the term and the planning has practically written itself. Money well spent!" - Mr Davison, Durham teacher.
"We couldn't afford to visit Hadrian's wall this year because of transport costs. Richard's visit turned out to be a better choice all round. Hands-on, engaging and delivered with enthusiasm and expertise. Amazing!" - Mrs Ord, Darlington

delicate aromas of ancient ingredients? Can you learn and write the
numbers from I to X?
This fabulous activity was developed and trialled alongside Gateshead Libraries with great success. Using Roman armour, artefacts and objects that were once in the Dorman Museum, Middlesbrough, That History Bloke will deliver a hands-on experience to fit in with your curriculum requirements.
Various activities to choose from to make up your day, including:
Roman Soldier(preparing for life
on the wall: marching, battle training, armour)
Roman Slave (learn to look after
your 'master' by toga tying, lyre playing, preparing food and
drink, and hygiene)
Roman Scribe (making ink and
writing numerals using wax tablets and quills)
Roman Children (have fun with
toys and games, Roman-style!)
Oh, and we always like to end the
day with a Roman legend or two...
