Year 4听pupils enjoyed an exciting and immersive trip to Fishbourne Roman Palace, where they stepped back in time to learn more about Roman life. The visit brought history to life as children explored the palace and took part in a range of hands-on activities.听
One of the highlights of the day was handling real Roman artefacts, giving pupils a unique opportunity to connect with the past. The children also practised听writing their names听in Latin using traditional wax tablets and papyrus paper, discovering how Roman children would have written听nearly 2,000听years ago.听
The experience was made even more memorable as pupils dressed up as Roman royalty, helping them imagine what life might have been like for wealthy Romans. Outside, the children explored the villa gardens, learning about the different plants grown by the Romans and how they were used for food, medicine, and daily life.听
