Roman Day in Year 4 - My Mosaic of a Horse

Hello, I 'm Alyssia ! On Friday the 21st of November 2014, Year 4 got to dress up as Romans because it was Roman day! We spent most of the day doing mosaics. Most of the class did a Roman shield. However, I was the ONLY one to do a horse! First, I drew the body of my horse on the centre of the page. I took a mosaic to measure the length of the hooves and legs. Next, I drew the mane and tail. I chose the most sensible colours for a Roman horse. Finally, I stuck down the mosaics. When I went to see Miss Duddy I presumed I was done. However, she said, 'Why don't  you put in a background!' Just then I realised it was missing a background, so I used blue for the sky and green for the grass. You may have seen that I have used dark red in the middle of my horse's back. I used it because it is a Roman saddle. Miss Duddy was proud of me. My family was proud. Everyone was proud.
