P5-7 have just completed a topic on The Romans. To finish it off they travelled to Hadrian’s Wall and visited 2 museums. At the Roman Army Museum they took part in a lesson from a holographic teacher in a Roman classroom. This was followed by a 3Dmovie.The children then explored the museum in small groups.
It was then off to Vindolanda where they had lunch outdoors. The pupils then received a really fascinating talk from an archaeologist. Then it was time to explore the ruins of the fort and village. The children had lots of fun doing that. Next was the museum and gift shop where the children got to spend their money.
This was a great trip and the children showed their existing knowledge of the Romans as well as learning some new things. It was great to see all the artefacts that had been recovered from the site.
A day to remember.
