Auxilium Decimus Anno III

In preparation for our Roman banquet on Friday, Year 3 helped Decimus answer a number of problems. 

What strategies did you use today to solve the problems, why did you choose them and which do you think were the best?

Romulus and Remus - the wolf

Wolves are wild animals that live in groups called packs. They work together to hunt, raise their young and protect their territory. When a wolf howls it is sending other wolves a message. It might mean "I'm here, where are you?" or "Stay away from my territory!"

Why do you think the wolf in Romulus and Remus looked after the boys?

What would it be like living with wolves in a forest?

Romulus and Remus - alone in the forest
