Year 4 Trip to Murton Park

Year 4 had an amazing day at Murton Park. 

​We started the day by getting dressed up as Romans and practising how to hold our spears and shields correctly. 

​Then, Flavia 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.

​The children really enjoyed finding out about different weapons. 

​Finally, the Romans (children) chased a Celt away from the 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.
