Vindolanda and the Roman army museum visit

Year 4 had an amazing trip to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum.
The children explored the fascinating Roman fort ruins at Vindolanda and saw real archaeological excavations taking place. They discovered what life was like for Roman soldiers and their families who lived nearly 2,000 years ago.

At the Roman Army Museum, the class learned about Roman weapons, armour, and training. Everyone enjoyed trying on replica helmets and shields, and imagining what it was like to be part of the powerful Roman army.

It was a fantastic day full of learning, history, and fun!

Stuart Reid author visit

Year 4 had a fantastic visit from children’s author Stuart Reid. He inspired everyone with his funny stories and exciting books, encouraging the children to use their imagination and creativity in their own writing. The pupils loved hearing about how he became an author and enjoyed joining in with his lively story writing session.

It was a fun and inspiring session that brought reading and writing to life!
