History continued Year 7 History Super Learning day - 8 October 2012 In October, all Year 7 students took part in a Roman super learning day. They were given the opportunity to further their knowledge and enjoyment of History by learning creatively and outside the classroom. Throughout the day, the students took part in a range of activities including tasting Roman foods, creating a variety of Roman dramas and working with the History squad to learn about Roman army life. The feedback from students was extremely positive and has demonstrated that they have improved their history knowledge… ‘Burping at dinner was a compliment to the host!’ ‘Armour was very heavy and the plume would be put on sideways to show high command.’ One student summarised the success of the day by saying, ‘because fun creates a positive attitude for students, it makes them want to learn more.’ Miss James History Department
