Roman Visit

17th Oct 2017

Y4 Roman school trip

Some of our Y4 children reported on their exciting Roman adventure!

“We went to the Yorkshire Farming Museum in York. We made oil lamps and we were dressed as Roman Soldiers! We were shown the different parts to a Roman Fort. We had to sign and date a contract to become a Roman Solider. Afterwards we had to meet our three best friends; the helmet, shield and spear. Also we learned how to march, using the words ‘sin’ which was left in Latin and ‘dex’ which meant right. Another activity was to learn Roman numerals and Latin. At the end of the day we had to use our secret weapon the terrible twins to scare away the Celts attacked!”
