Yr8 Classics Day (June 2025)

Over the course of two days (Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 June) all Yr8 pupils had the opportunity to take an active part in this year’s Classics Days. In addition to learning about life in Roman Britain, the pupils had a chance to let their creativity shine through a range of activities.

Here's what some of the Yr8 students had to say about the day:

“On Classics Day, I really enjoyed making mosaics as it was very fun to make designs and stick them down. It was also very interesting to learn about Roman life, like the games they would play like Nine Men’s Morris and how they would live their day to day lives.”

“I enjoyed Classics day very much. The two activities I enjoyed the most were making our bowl out of clay, I find it relaxing and interesting. I also enjoyed making and playing the Roman game with my friend.”

 “Classics day was really fun! It was very interesting to learn about life in Roman Britain and how different it was to today. My favourite activity was making the mosaics. I also really liked Nine Men’s Morris, and then had a lot of fun and very fierce games of it with my friends.”
