Our trip to Chester

On Monday 16th March we went to Dewa Chester. First we met a Roman lady, she took us inside, there was a wooden boat. She told us the password and we shouted it out. We met a man on the boat, he would beat the drum when he wanted us to change our rowing speed. We were rowing the boat but when we looked at Mrs Gough she was not rowing, luckily she didn't get killed! The lady took us to a door, we went through the door and met another man. He decided if we were friends or enemies. He said we were friends, if we were enemies other soldiers would have come and killed us! We went into a room and the lady told us what the barrels would have been used for, next she chose two volunteers to come up. One of them spread oil on the other one, then scraped all the dirt off them. After lunch we had a walk to a stone circle. At the stone circle we got told how to be scary and how to march. Then Lily came up and the Roman soldier nearly cut her head off! We had a shield and formed the tortoise. Then we walked to an amphitheatre, on the floor it was like sand. The Roman soldier chose Mrs Round to come up, and Mr Morris. They had a battle. The battle was just rock, paper, scissors but Mrs Round won. Mr Morris was going to die but the Emperor put his thumb up so he could live. Then the man talked about the two types of Roman soldiers, one was Samnite, the other was Retiarlus. Then we walked back in the rain. By Isabella
