As part of new thier new IPC topic "The Great, The Bold, and The Brave", Grade 5 will be studying The Roman Empire and its contribution to Western Civilization. To kick off this topic, they visited the Ancient Roman stadium of Philipopolis.

There the students saw a 3D movie, depicting the life in Plovdiv around the V century AD. Afterwards, they were treated to a guided tour, during which they learned even more about the Roman empire and its connection to our beloved town.

These kinds of trips always happen at the start of a new IPC topic. The idea is for the students to experience first hand what the topic is all about, so they can always reference to this practical experience while learning in the classroom afterwards.
