On Monday, the children visited Binchester Roman Fort to extend their learning from our Spring term history unit and to prepare the children for their learning about the Anglo-Saxons this term; a period in history following Roman Britain.

During our visit, the children had the opportunity to complete a range of different activities. This included creating Roman mosaics, solving problems using Roman Numerals, furthering their learning about the Roman bath houses, cleaning Roman artefacts found at Binchester and having the opportunity to dress up as a Roman.

The children then had a tour of the grounds where they discovered excavated areas and learnt about the history of the Romans in Binchester. They showed great curiosity, asking lots of questions about the excavated areas to further their knowledge. The staff were also extremely impressed with the knowledge the children already had about the Romans.

Finally, the children had the opportunity to create their own clay pots. They were very creative creating unique designs and carving interesting patterns into their pots.

We had a brilliant day and the children made us so proud with their exemplary behaviour!
