Youngsters from Laude, Lady Elizabeth School in the Jalon Valley had a special history lesson last week .
The year 4 students are studying the Romans and as part of their course they visited the Akraocio Centre in Guadalest where they learned many things in a practical way .
They looked at and made their own mosaics and also a “bula ” which is a clay pendant . They saw many other artifacts as the centre is a branch of the MARQ museum in Alicante .
Before they left they became Roman soldiers under the command of Paco the Monitor , they had swords and shields and looked the real thing .
