Well done to Flavia and Lisa, who already made their beautiful bonnet!! Aren't they cute?!

These activities are by the National Museum Scotland, which has got a very interesting website.

After this activity, you can explore the same page for more information about the Romans.
I hope you enjoyed yourself and learnt something more about the Romans!

Pizzigoni cave paintings!

Hello, everyone!
           A big surprise today! 
A wonderful CAVE full of prehistoric paintings has been found in our school!!!!!
The kids of classes 3B and 3C and their parents were the first to visit the cave; it's very dark, you need a torch to see the paintings!
Have a look at the beautiful paintings (as beautiful as the ones in Lascaux!) and... at the primitive kids painting them!


Isn't it really fantastic????
Unfortunately our school will have to be closed tomorrow: a team of archaeologists is coming to study the cave.
So.... WE ARE ALL GOING ON HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye bye!
