Today we will be creating compound sentences. We will join two main clauses together using coordinating conjunctions.
‘and’, ‘but’, ‘so’ and ‘or’ are the coordinating conjunctions that we have been using in Year 3. Here's a sheet to remind you.
"The strong, courageous gladiator stepped bravely into the Colosseum and the Emperor cheered excitedly."

History activity - What did a Roman Gladiator typically wear?
In general, Gladiators in Ancient Rome did not wear much as it was considered a sign of masculinity to fight with a bare chest. It was only due to modesty that they wore a canvas loincloth, called a subligaculum, when they were in the heat of battle.
However, they also wore armour when they fought, with one Gladiator typically wearing a lot of armour and one not. This was because the Roman audience expected a fair fight!
They also wore a helmet and a sword for protection.
Use the attached pdf image of a gladiator and the labels to help you draw and label your own gladiator.
