This afternoon in 3V we have been continuing our studies of Pompeii and the Bay of Naples by undertaking a range of activities to research the answers to two questions:
1. What was it like in Pompeii before the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in AD79, and what was it like afterwards?
2. How do we know so much about life in Pompeii and the eruption of Vesuvius in AD79?
Children used books, paintings and drawings, internet resources and a timeline of events to piece together information about Pompeii, as well as a very valuable primary source - a translation of Pliny the Younger's letter to his friend Tacitus, which gave an eye witness account of the eruption.
