Dear Duncan,

Thank you for your lovely postcard. I really liked the picture on it, but your granny didn’t. She doesn’t like monsters!

How funny! I visited Loch Ness when I was your age. I went with my dad – your great-grandfather! We looked for Nessie, too. We went on a boat around the lake with a fisherman, but nothing happened. We noticed something moving in the water far away. We went closer, but there wasn’t anything. We laughed – perhaps it was a big fish.

Yes, we had a great time at the weekend. We visited your mum and dad on Sunday – they miss you a lot! We watched TV and had lunch in the garden. We talked about you all the time.

See you next Friday! Love,

Granddad Gerry

LIFE IN ROMAN TIMES

In 117 AD, the Roman Empire was very big and important and it covered lots of different countries including

today’s

Spain, France, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Croatia. Part of Britain was also Roman and Scotland was, too, but for a shorter time. The Romans were famous for building very good roads, bridges and dams*, for their laws and their language. But what was life really like back then? Let’s have a look.

School: Not all the children had money

to go to a school in the town or have a teacher at home. Even fewer girls went to school; it was mostly boys who did. In poor families, the children worked to help their parents.

Toys: Children in Roman times played

with toys similar to the ones you have: balls, dolls, toy animals and board games. They also had small letters to practise their spelling.

Food: Romans liked eating

bread, vegetable soup, fish and meat like sausages. Poor people didn’t have meat very often and they didn’t have a kitchen in their house. They cooked their food at a bakery or had something to eat in the market. Did you know that there was ice cream in those days?

*dam = a very strong wall that stops a river

1 Countries like Spain and Germany were Roman for a longer time than Britain.

2 The Romans were very good builders.

3 In Roman times, rich children went to school or had a teacher at home.

4 Roman toys are exactly the same as toys nowadays.

5 Poor people didn’t cook at home.

THREE GREAT PLACES IN SCOTLAND Edinburgh: Come and visit this great

city. There are many green parks to have picnics in and a fantastic castle to visit. Come in August for the International Festival of Music, Dance and Theatre. The streets in the city centre are filled with performers, colours and music. Every day for three weeks, there are shows and plays for everyone.

Glasgow: Bigger than any other city in

Scotland, this is the place to spend your holiday. Edinburgh is perhaps prettier,

but there are so many things you can do here: go to the Botanic Gardens, visit the museums and galleries. The first football museum in the world is here!

Stirling: Stirling is a small Scottish town,

but it’s got a lot of history. Visit the National Wallace Monument. Here you can see the sword that Wallace, the real Braveheart, used. On a sunny day, come to Blair Drummond Safari Park and see the wild animal reserves and shows.

1 Simon: ‘I walked around the town a lot. I liked the park and especially the Sea Lion show!’

2 Tracey: ‘I wanted to go to a smaller city, but my friends didn’t. I went to the sports museum. That was great.’

3 Peter: ‘My family and I went there in August. The weather wasn’t very sunny, but my children really enjoyed the wildlife.

4 Rachel and Fred: ‘We didn’t want to spend our holiday in a big city. We went there because we wanted to see street performances.’

5 Joe: ‘I like quiet places so I never stay in my home city in August. This year, I went to see a little bit of Scottish history.’
