Comments following a Roman Day at St. Anne's RC Primary School, Audenshaw, May 2010. ( Names withheld )
Another great day Paul. The kids loved it.
Your passion rubs off on the children and your knowledge allows them to develop skills, especially through the practical activities.
Thank You! Michael ( Teacher )
Dear Paul,
Thank you for the wonderful roman day on the 24th of May. You taught us lots of things we did not already know about the Romans.
I liked it when you let me hold the real sword! I like swords because I am a ninja. I also liked the pork and ball bit!
Thank you for my gummy sweet and my liquorice stick. They were really yummy! Also when we sang the song, I hope you liked it!
Yours sincerely,
Year 3
Dear Paul,
Thank you for coming in for us it sounded like it was a wonderful day.
When you took the ball out of the pork it looked like good fun. Later when they put on the weapons and the armour it looked great and it looked delicious when you had the foods like honey, posh bread and cheese.
When you went outside to do the timeline, it looked super good. Also the face paint looked fantastic. I really wish I was there on that day, hope you come again please!
After dinner it looked good when you had the real roman gold shiny treasure. And it looked super great when you looked at the roman arches!
Yours sincerely,
Year 3
Dear Paul,
Thank you for coming in for us, it was a wonderful day. I hope you will come again. You are so nice I liked you.
When we got the pork it was quite horrible putting your hand in it. But I have got to say it did look delicious.
I like the activities that you brought in for us. I really appreciated it. My favorite activity was when we put are head in the sauner steam. The roman day was good. Thank you,
At the beginning of the day we done a time line with BC we all had a sheet on saying some words on it and we put them in order.
When Ben put the roman armour on everyone laughed because he looked funny. Then I put it on everyone and everyone laughed again.
Paul you shown us the roman treasure but it was only pretend, I wish I had real treasure.
Yours Sincerely,
Year 3
Dear Paul,
I am really sorry that I was not there on Monday because I was on holiday at Spain. I was learned all sorts what you did on that Monday. It must of bin great on that Roman day; my friends told me all about it.
I would have enjoyed the time line because it sounds very fun. Oh I heard they had posh Roman bread. Is it really nice? Well it does sound quiet nice!!
You also gave them honey to try. Two of my friends shared a jar of honey. They must of bin hungry the two of my friends. My Friends loved the honey very much.
Lots of my friends loved the Roman day they thought it was very fun. I hope you had fun.Yr3 taught you a Roman song it must of been fun.
Yours sincerely

Dear Paul,
Thank you for the lovely day. We really appreciated the whole day of the Romans. We really liked the objects you brought in for us to play with. We also liked all the food you brought and let us try we really liked that such as the roman bread and cheese. The roman games were excellent I liked the cup and ball the best. The best thing I liked was when we got to put our heads in the Roman steam bath. We also didn’t know about a lot of those things so you taught them .I also liked it when most of the boys dressed up as the Romans and Ben wore the real Armour suite and sword. I think I taught you something as well song thank you for a sweet and the lickerish stick. I also liked it when we had to get the ball out of the pork.
Yours sincerely,
Year 3

I loved the day you spent with us.The best bit was when you had to pull the bullet out of the pig it
was good because it was all messy and I like messy stuff. I also liked it when we dressed up in all
the jewellery and clothes it made us look all grown up.

Hi Paul
Love from Caitlin

Hello Paul, it's Chloe just writing to tell you that I think the Tudor day was excellent. And the best bit was when we tasted the food and also when we were looking at a few of the things on the carpet. But I think we could have a bit more excitement. But I really loved getting the bullet out of the pig I wish I could do something like that again. See you next year.
Yesterday I had a good day. I DIDN'T LIKE IT WHERE .
THE BOYS LOST THE QWIZ. I LIKED IT WHEN WE TOOK THE .BULLET OUT OF THE PIG.

Hey Paul
Thanks very much for the Tudor day. It was great.
I especially liked dressing up as a queen, doing the dance and when I had the speech and pretended to have my head cut off. I also liked the way you showed us to give secret messages also liked the quiz. I thought you were very kind coming in, so I would just like to say a great big thank you.
