Today, as part of our Invasion topic, Year 3 visited the National Roman Legion Museum at Caerleon. We had a fantastic time looking at all the Roman artefacts which even included a Roman skeleton!
We spent time in the barracks which had been recreated so that we could understand what it was like to live as soldier 2000 years ago. Everyone also tried on the lorica segmentata (Roman armour) and helmet.
To understand what school life was like for the young Roman, we visited the Roman school where we were taught Roman Numerals and latin by a very strict Roman teacher!
We had great fun exploring the Roman baths, learning that 500 Romans would bathe together at the same time! We visited the amphitheatre and the barracks. This helped us to understand how closely the Roman soldiers had to live together unlike the Centurian in charge. We also took a look at where they sat together to go to the toilet! The amphitheartre was immense. We role played the parts of Roman gladiators and the jeering crowd. We all had a super time. 
A big thank you to all our parent helpers for your support throughout the day. The trip would not have been possible without you.
