feeeld trip

these are pics of what i do. i took the yr 7 kids to watch the march of roman soldiers. kids asked questions like "are they real roman soldiers?" leaving me to answer ummm . . . no. the real ones died a few centuries ago. and "where are their pants?" sometimes its like i'm a primary teacher and its very hard. luckily they are still cute and i have hopes that they will suddenly mature after xmas.

being part of the roman empire is a very big thing here. its a little weird. you can find the whole romulus and remus she-wolf at on statues about town. dacia (romania) were not part of the roman empire for very long but man was it nurtured. sometimes its like the intervening centuries didnt happen. anyway, it was really cool cause they had arms and the kids were excited cause they got out of school and got to talk to the soldiers. and then we marched/ ran down the street after them. its was kind of like a parade but really small.
