We have dressed up as Roman legionaries, learnt about the work of an archaeologist (thanks to Mikey's dad for such a great start to the day), investigated Roman artefacts in a 'treasure hunt' challenge, learnt about life as a slave and as a rich Roman, re-enacted a Roman banquet and walked around Caerleon's real Roman barracks, including the latrine. Ask your child about sponges on sticks! We have also imagined sights, sounds and smells as we sat on the bunk beds in the reconstructed barrack room, seen a Roman bath, learnt about strigils, hypocausts and fridgidariums and - finally - raced around the magnificent ruins of the amphitheatre in the sunshine. What a wonderful day. Class 9, you were brilliant. Thankyou to the super team of parents who accompanied us today, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
