Roman Videoconferencing with the Royal Albert Memorial Museum

The Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter has been piloting a new Roman
videoconferencing session for Key Stage 2 groups and is inviting schools to
come and virtually meet Romans from the South West! There are regular
sessions available on Wednesdays which can be organised with the Museum, at a
time to suit you.

The videoconference session takes up to an hour. All you need are one
bedroom sheet between two, lots of interesting questions about Romans that
you just can't find the answers to in books and up to 3 modern mystery
objects.

When you videoconference with the RAMM your children will:

* Meet a Roman soldier in full military dress - they had better be
ready with plenty of questions for him... and they'll learn how to greet him
in Latin too.
* Practice their speaking and listening skills by watching a toga
demonstration, trying it out for themselves, then instructing our presenters
on how to put one on.
* Play a mystery objects game - RAMM provide Roman objects and 3
definitions for each - your children use their thinking skills to guess
which is right. Make sure you have 3 modern objects of your own to play the
game back to our Romans.

Contact Kathryn Gallery at the museum to book a videoconference session or

Once you have booked a session, someone from the education team at the
museum will liaise with you on planning for the videoconference and booking
a test call.
