7. Into the arena

Primary Music KS2: Romans - BBC Teachaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudiodocument

The song explores Roman entertainments...including the gladiators.

Into the arena,
Mask and mime and drama, 
Audience all round there, 
Waiting for the show. 
Tragedy and comedy
And poetry performed there, 
Into the arena, go!

Into the arena,
Chariots and horses,
Teams of different colours 
Red, white, blue and green. 
Round the Circus Maximus 
They race around in danger, 
Who's the fastest to be seen?

Into the arena,
Cruelty and horror, 
Animals displayed there 
Hunted till they die, 
Antelope and elephant 
And lion, bear and leopard, 
Into the arena, why?

Into the arena,
Gladiators fighting,
Locked in mortal combat 
Fighting to the death.
Wrestling with weaponry
And nets and shields and armour, 
Struggling for their final breath.

Into the arena,
Mask and mime and drama,
Audience all round there, 
Waiting for the show. 
Tragedy and comedy
And poetry performed there, 
Into the arena, go!

Into the arena, go..! 
Into the arena, go..!. 
Into the arena, go..! 
Into the arena, go..!

The first episode of a two-part drama in which children become archaeologists to explore what we can find out about the Anglo-Saxons from the archaeological find at Sutton Hoo. We meet Becky, a young archaeologist, who begins the story of the famous discovery.

In 1938 Mrs Edith Pretty approaches a local archaeologist, Basil Brown, to begin excavations on the site. At his insistence the largest of the mounds is left untouched. However, the smaller mounds yield very few artefacts. In May the following year Brown returns and this time he begins excavations on the largest mound. Within four days he and his helpers have uncovered the impression of the Sutton Hoo ship. They are on the verge of a great discovery.
