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
Buckingham Palace
Town Hall and the Shard
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 Eye
The 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 ….… BATH
The 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 barrelvaulted 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
