Home Educators: Influential Romans
Join our dedicated session for local home educators. Specially designed by our Education Tutors for families with children aged between 7-11 in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire area.
Really Influential Romans
Take a trip back in time with our immersive history session, as we bring the ancient world to life. Our Influential Romans day explores the magnificent Earth Trust landscape, were archaeologists have uncovered a Roman villa, two cemeteries and pottery from across the Empire.
The morning starts with making your own gladius before you take on the Clumps Challenges. Are you ready to become a Roman Legionnaire? Fitness, Latin and battle tactics are all necessary skills to defeat the celts that resisted the Roman invasion of Britain. Only the very best will make the cut!
The afternoon session is based in our beautiful gardens where you can explore the Roman way of life. Handle real Roman artefacts, discover how Roman culture shaped the way we eat today, and imagine life under the empire’s rule. Bring history to life with fun, Roman-inspired games in the garden, crafts – a perfect end to a day of exploration and learning. Your child will leave Earth Trust inspired and eager to learn more.
