History Club

Some lucky Year 7’s and 8’s were chosen to attend the new History Club which takes place on Wednesdays after school for an hour in room 5 with Miss Hartill. In History club we discuss and learn about Ancient History, particularly Ancient Rome. We enjoy learning about how people in Ancient Rome lived. We have investigated Ancient religions; how Romans were entertained; their cuisine and the social hierarchy. History Club is so enjoyable because it is not taught in the normal way, it is very interesting and Miss Hartill is an expert so we find it informative and fun! We have had the chance to watch parts of ‘Gladiator’ and decide whether it is accurate, as well as learning that there were many different types of gladiators. Our favourite part of History Club was the cookies (yum!) and making life size gladiators in groups and designing the weaponry and armour. We are looking forward to this club continuing next year.
