The children sang beautifully - so much so that there were happy tears shed by some of the residents. Mr Cronin did a fantastic job as always of accompanying the children with his great guitar playing skills. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were rewarded with some tasty treats as a  well deserved thank you.

We started the day by getting dressed up as Romans and practising how to hold our spears and shields correctly. 
​Then, Flavia and Marcus took us on a tour around the site. Many children were shocked to hear that the Romans used a wooden stick with a sponge on to wipe their bums!
​The children were given the opportunity to practise fighting with weapons which they all really enjoyed. 
​They also signed a contract to say that they would be a Roman for the next 25 years and made a clay oil lamp.
​They used what they had learnt about working as a team to chase away a Celt to protect their fort.
​Thank you so much to all the children who were an absolute credit to their parents/carers and the school. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank all the adults who came with us and made it possible.

- Using clay to create their own tallow holders.
-  Grinding wheat to create flour to produce their own Viking biscuits.
- Playing Viking games.
- Learning how to guard the village incase of attack from the Anglo Saxons.

Throughout the day, their class activities were based on the book ‘Be Kind’ – please click on the link if you would like to listen to this fantastic story.
