Here is a picture of the inside of the Colluseum in Rome.  Gladiators, slaves would fight here or Christians would be eaten by lions!  Of course now it is in ruins.

Before starting a fight the Gladiators would say to the Emperor “We who are about to die salute you”.  Then they would fight to the death.  At the and of the fight, the Emperor would put his thumbs up if the Gladitor should live.  But he could only do once to each person, the second time he had to die, he can only save them once.

Here are some fantastic sites to look at all about Romans…

 The Birmingham Museum and art Gallery. is an exciting site that gives you the chance to look at a time line and discover what big events happened when the Romans were in Britain; there is also a super game for you to dress a Roman soldier.

The BBC Schools Website has some fab facts and some clever quizes. Take a look.

You wouldn’t want to be a Roman Gladiator! This a scary site that let’s you explore what life as a Roman Gladiator was like.

Innovations Learning  is a great site that let’s you look at photos of amazing Roman artefacts!

Boudicca was the Celtic chieftain of the Iceni Tribe. The Icenis lived in what is now Norfolk.

The Iceni fought the Romans and, at first, were succesful. However, Boudicca and her army were finally beaten. Read here about her story and see if you can answer the questions about what you have learned.

What an exciting term! We are at the end of our Chorlton Big Question. So  when would you like to live in Chorlton?
