Week 6: Gladiators and Life in Rome - we made a Gladiator Arena in the Colosseum, complete with little Lego gladiators. They are really knights, but they gladly filled in for us.
In week 7, we studied about Caesars, Christians, and Barbarians. We hid out in the closet under the stairs as we talked about the catacombs in ancient Rome. 
Week 8: Exploring Britain...the boys loved learning about the Celts. We made a Celtic chariot. The boys wanted to decorate up like the Celtic warriors, so they painted themselves with blue paint and made their hair look crazy. Braveheart, anyone?
Week 9: Islam grows in the Middle East...we didn't make a hideaway this week. We studied the geometric designs that are used on mosques, no people or animals. They made their own geometric design using foam pieces, sorry no picture. I know you're disappointed!Week 10: France and the Fierce Vikings...we didn't make a hideaway this week either. We were supposed to make a longhouse, but they wanted us to reuse the pyramid box. Maybe they'll draw a picture in their notebook of a longhouse this week?

Love to see what all you're studying--and kudos for you for making your boys well rounded while grounding them in our faith.
