The first one to do the presentation was Juan.
He re enacted the Fire of Rome by burning Rome a bit with a magnifying glass.
It didn't work as quickly as we needed it to because the sun kept hiding, so we had the help of a matchstick to burn it and it was very successful.
This was the last photo taken of Rome.
Juan also showed us how to read Roman numerals which screwed everybody's heads up when we tried to work out a big number like 1494.
Then Hugo showed us what he'd built on Minecraft with the Roman baths and everybody loved it.
Another family talked about the beginning of Christianity and how it spread around Europe.
Then, with the help from my Gramps who was visiting from Australia, we talked about the 4 worst emperors - Caligula, Tiberius, Nero and Claudius. My Gramps dressed up as the emperors and we had lots of fun.
This is Caligula's horse, Incitatus, that he made a consul. He also liked chopping people's heads.
And the feather with the poison on its tip was what Claudius ended up dying from when he tried vomiting up the bad mushrooms.
