Gruesome Gladiator Games- Our Research

We are Learning to Research on PhotoPeach

Roman Gladiators 

On Wednesday the Year 5 children did some research on the Roman Gladiators. We watched a horrifying video of one their games, It was about how they played the game and what happened. Here are some of the things we learnt. In the practice duel, the fighters will use wooden weapons then they will use real swords.The gladiators have a trainer and he\she will cheer you on for the whole game. If one of the fighters could not carry on they will raise their left arm & point their index finger to the sky.Then the spectators shall use sign language to vote between life and death. Sometimes the gladiators will beg for mercy. By Chanel

Here is the film clip that we watched:

Powhiri 28th February 2014

WBS Powhiri February 2014 on PhotoPeach

I wanted to pass on to the school and students what an amazing job they did this morning. Their participation in the powhiri, from the haka to respectfully sitting during the rest of the ceremony was fantastic and a real tribute to their maturity and the culture of the school community. Well done Worser Bay School, I felt proud to be part of your community!
