Roman Soldiers take over Woodford

Claudius Maximus of the Roman Army at Isca (Exeter) came to drill his new Roman Army at Woodford Primary School. Discipline was fierce. The soldiers were drilled in their conturburniums under the strict command of Claudius. They were drilled in their kit and working together as a unit. A battle between the soldiers and the Celts was a foregone conclusion! Despite the Romans being outnunbered by the Celts, they were no match for the might of the Roman army and their superior battle tactics. Stimulli and javelins held back the celtic charge and in the end the battlefield was a mass of Celtic bodies!

Welcome to Year 4 Jasmine

We would like to take this opportunity to Welcome you and your child to Year 4. We hope they look to an exciting year.

The main focus for the Autumn term is The Romans.
“Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand.”
We have invited ‘Claudius Maximus’ to drill the children in Roman Army Life . This will be on Wednesday 14th September, preceded on 13th September with a session of handling artefacts from Plymouth City Museum. The focus for the Roman day with Claudius Maximus will be learning about life in the Roman Army, the weaponry and discipline. The children will take part in drill, marching to Latin commands, become part of the Isca Conturburnium and touch and feel the armour and weaponry.
