Romans were really greedy, at banquets they would eat alot of food and then just vomit to eat more food.Not only were the Romans greedy but bloodthirsty as well. Criminal torture was merely entertainment to them.But if your wondering what was good about them, then your answer is thier government. They were the 1st to invent democracy. Roman artefacts are also inresting, archaeoligists discovered a pair of black underpants once.

Happenings in Grade 5A
I am Ana.
I love being in grade 5, because I have Mrs Poonam for my teacher. These days are so fun and I am always happy. For these 2 weeks, our class learnt about Ancient Civilization, and the topic is Thanks to the Past. The most fun thing I had so far was when we were archiologists.
Some of the people in my class (including me) were burying things in the sand in the Jungle Gym, and the others had to find these things. But then the people who buried the things started to get bored, so Mrs Poonam let us find also. So I just dig where I kept the things... ...But there was one problem-I could not find it, so I felt very embarassed.
We've also made groups of 5 people, and all the groups got to chose one country out of these: Egypt, Indus Valley, China, Roman and Greece. I chosed Egypt, because I've already went there, and also because I've already read a book about it. Then Mrs Poonam gave us sheets which includes the big 6 and the task. Our point is to find out what they did for us.
We went to see the play ''The Ungreatful Man''. The people were acting so well with a loud voice and nice movement. Even the little kids were on stage. They were so cute!!!
