Shops & Market Day

This third section is about the shops and markets.
Here I am writing a bit about the shops and markets under each letter.

The letters flap open to show what the shops and market could look like as well as the coins that the Romans used.

First Day at Brownie Camp

This week I went on a Brownie camp. There were 6 of us. We stayed for 2 nights.
First we had to "spot the hazards" so that we knew what was not safe.

Next we had to put up the tent.

We finally found a place to put the tent where there were no rocks hidden under the ground.

Our tent is up. The plan was for 3 girls to sleep in it the first night and then the other 3 the second night. But it rained on the 2nd day and water went into the tent. So we all slept in the wool shed the second night. So even though I did not get to sleep in the tent (which would have been a lot of fun) it was still nice to be on camp.

Here we are singing "grace" before our meal. We sang to the tune of "Superman".

Thank you Lord, for giving us food, x 2
For our daily bread, we will thank you Lord.

Thank you Lord, for giving us food.

Mom stayed for our picnic "tea" (or dinner). We went down to the river. It was so beautiful.

The colours were so amazing.

Our picnic spot.

We had to walk through a field to get to the river and these two alpacas were in the field with the sheep.

I had a wonderful camp.

Puzzle finished

Here I am putting the last peace into the 1000 peace puzzle of a Roman Villa that Mom and I build in just 1 week.

We listened to a lovely story set in Roman times while we built. It is called "The Roman Mysteries: The Thieves of Ostia".

Ostia is the port city just 20km from Rome.

City

The second section is showing what a typical Roman city looked like.

The key on the left shows all the different buildings.

The city flaps open. On the right is a picture of what the forum might have looked like.

In the middle there is a nice picture of Romans building an aqueduct and road.

The middle picture flaps up to show a photo of an Aqueduct. This is what is still left of it after almost 2000 years (the modern city is seen on the right).
The aqueduct photo flaps to the left to show how they made their roads.

And that flaps to the right to show a photo of what is left of one of the Roman Roads in modern time.

Map

The first section of my scroll.
This map shows the Roman Empire at it's greatest in AD 100.
I have included the Legend of the start of Rome and the Greek word "Italos".

The picture of Romulus and Remus with the she-wolf.

"Italos" means "bull-calf".

The details of the story of Romulus and Remus.

How "Italy" got it's name. "Land of calves".

Ancient Rome Scroll

I have started a unit study on Ancient Rome. Mom read about "lap books" and she came up with the good idea to do a "lap scroll" instead of a book because the Romans used scrolls.

I am very excited about this unit study. We have so many books out the library (at least 20), an Audio Book, a video and a puzzle.
