Did the Romans use soap?

It has been another fortnight of full-on learning in Year 4!
On Monday we stepped back in time and entered an almighty battle as Roman soldiers as part of Roman Day. The day saw the children make oil from olives, mosaic tiles, candle wax tablets, perfume and so much more. As part of the day, the children also had some soldier training and learnt many Roman army commands. To celebrate their victory over Boudica's army, the children feasted on cheese, bread and grapes and learnt dances and plays! And in case you were wondering, YES, the Romans did use soap! They even made it themselves.
We have also managed to fit in soap carving, whole-body drawing, fractions, an egg experiment and writing our description of Kensuke's Island. Well done Year 4, you've had a very impressive two weeks.
