Our trip in London Si è concluso il viaggio studio a Londra, realizzato grazie ai fondi strutturali
erogati per gli anni 2007-2013. L’esperienza è stata estremamente positiva , e 15 studenti del nostro istituto,sezioni CAT e Liceo Scientifico, accompagnati dalle professoresse Francesca Senatore e Anna Celano, sono andati a studiare
per 3 settimane in Inghilterra presso il Goldsmiths’ College. Questa esperienza ha permesso di potere usare in situazioni reali la lingua straniera che avevano studiato per tanti anni a scuola. Oltre al corso di lingua inglese e
il conseguimento della certificazione Trinity è stata realizzata l’area di progetto sullo studio di manufatti romani a Londra (Londinium) che è stata fondata dai romani dall’imperatore Claudio circa 2000 anni fa e sono state
visitate le città di York e Bath dove ci sono mura, manufatti e le terme romane e Oxford, rinomata per l’università.
Studiare la lingua inglese nella capitale del Regno Unito e incontrare tante persone inglesi; conoscere da vicino la loro cultura e il loro modo di comportarsi è stato davvero proficuo e molti alunni hanno espresso il
desiderio di ritornare per studiare o per fare un’esperienza lavorativa. Gli alunni del nostro istituto, scelti sulla base del merito, si sono distinti per il
comportamento sempre corretto e si sono adattati a tutte le situazioni dimostrando flessibilità e spirito cooperativo all’interno del gruppo.
Auspichiamo che nei prossimi anni sarà possibile ripetere questa esperienza con altri studenti .
Interpretare il mondo di oggi(dare una spiegazione delle cose esistenti). In che
modo? Sia attraverso ipotesi e supposizioni fatte dagli storici (historical traces), sia attraverso prove scientifiche basate sul ritrovamento di costruzioni e manufatti
(scientific truths).
In 55BC Julius Caesar invaded Britain but the real conquest of the country took place in the years 43-47 AD under
Emperor Claudius (10BC-54AD) Most towns were surrounded by stone walls. The centre of the Roman town
was the forum or civic centre which gave access to the basilica or town hall. In the town hall there were
merchant’s assemblies and also this was the Court of Justice. Every town had public baths.
Roads joined the towns together and the Romans built 9.600 km of roads in Britain.

Our first day in London
Town Hall and the ShardBuckingham Palace
Westminster Palace
Outside the Tower of London
The beginnings of London can be dated in 43AD. A
bridge was built across the River Thames in the north
side of the bridge. The Roman settlement was called
Londinium. Today it is possible to see the remains of the London walls near the
Tower of London, just outside the underground station.
The London EyeThe London eye has got 32 pods because there are 32
boroughs in London. 30 people can go on a pod. It takes half an hour to go
round .
Covent Garden
It’s one of the most popular places where it is possible
to see street artists and buy souvenirs in the market.
CAMDEN TOWN
It’s an area in the north of London where there is one of the most
important markets with several stalls and it is a
big attraction for teenagers
Visiting ….… BATHThe Romans believed the hot springs in the Bath valley were the work of the gods, so they built a huge temple and baths around the largest spring. They dedicated the spring to the goddess
Sulis or Minerva.The temple was constructed in 60-70 AD and the
bathing complex was gradually built up over the next 300 years. During the Roman occupation of Britain, and
possibly on the instructions of Emperor Claudius, engineers drove oak piles
into the mud to provide a stable foundation and surrounded the spring with an irregular stone chamber lined with lead. In the 2nd century it was enclosed within a wooden barrel-
vaulted building, and included the caldarium (hot
bath), tepidarium (warm bath), and frigidarium (cold bath).
Visiting …..Oxford
Oxford is a city in South East England and the county town of Oxfordshire. With a population of 150,200 it is the 52nd largest city in the United Kingdom, and one of the fastest
growing and most ethnically diverse.Oxford has a broad economic base. Its industries include motor manufacturing,
education, publishing, and a large number of information technology and science-based businesses, some being
academic offshoots.The city is known worldwide as the home of Oxford University, the oldest university in the English-
speaking world.
History
Oxford was first settled in Saxon times and was initially known as "Oxenaforda", meaning "Ford of the Oxen"; fords were more common
than bridges at that time.] It began with the establishment of a river crossing for oxen around AD 900. In the 10th century, Oxford became an
important military frontier town between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and was on several occasions raided by Danes.
Oxford was heavily damaged during the Norman Invasion of 1066. Following the conquest, the town was assigned to a governor, Robert
D'Oyly, who ordered the construction of Oxford Castle to confirm Norman authority over the area. The castle has never been used for military
purposes and its remains survive to this day. D'Oyly set up a monastic community in the castle consisting of a chapel and living quarters for
monks (St George in the Castle). The community never grew large but it earned its place in history as one of the oldest places of formal education
in Oxford. It was there that in 1139 Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote his History of the Kings of Britain, a compilation of Arthurian legends.
University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is first mentioned in 12th-century records. As the University took shape, tension between the hundreds of students living where and how they pleased led to a decree that all undergraduates would have to reside in approved halls. Of the hundreds of Aularian houses that sprang up across the city, only St
Edmund Hall (c. 1225) remains. What put an end to the halls was the emergence of colleges. Oxford's earliest colleges were University College (1249), Balliol (1263) and
Merton (1264). These colleges were established at a time when Europeans were starting to translate the writings of Greek philosophers. These writings challenged European ideology, inspiring scientific discoveries and advancements in the arts, as society began to see itself in a new way. These colleges at Oxford were supported by the Church in the hope of reconciling Greek philosophy and Christian theology. The
relationship between "town and gown" has often been uneasy – as many as 93 students and townspeople were killed in the St Scholastica Day Riot of 1355.
Visiting ……….York
York was founded in AD71 and it was called Ebaricum. It was a fortress . It was built from earth and timber and the Romans built a pattern of streets that still exist today. The four gates (portae) gave access to the main
roads correlate with modern entrances to the city
