Students in year seven at Green Point Christian College participated in a history day recently.
It was an opportunity for students to actively engage in history through playing characters and handling replica sources such as weapons and armour. As they learnt about Ancient Egypt, students were selected to replicate their traditions and religious practices. They also dressed up as ancient Chinese soldiers and demonstrated how they fought with the Jinzhou. When looking at Roman history, the students saw what life was like as a gladiator and had the opportunity to act out a Germanic slave who was purchased by a lanista to be trained up for entering the gladiatorial arena.
