Yesterday, Year 3 and 4 were lucky enough to visit Yorkshire Museum. This trip linked brilliantly to our History topic – Romans and Anglo-Saxons.
Before lunch, we had plenty of time to explore the museum exhibits. In Year 3, your children learnt about rocks and fossils in Science so the Jurassic exhibitions were a clear favourite in our class! We loved dressing up as Romans, spotting Latin words we recognised from our lessons and getting up close to swords and helmets discovered by archaeologists.
After lunch, we continued the fun with a Roman workshop. We learnt and played a real Roman board game and had a chance to hold some Roman artefacts that were around 2,000 years old!
We had a fantastic day exploring the museum and stayed safe by listening, staying close to our adults and walking in pairs.
Help at home: ask your child one new fact that they learnt while at the museum.
