History- Romans on the Rampage

Date: 19th Dec 2022 @ 3:04pm

This term we had a visit to Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields. We explored real Roman artefacts that were excavated at the site. We experienced what it would be like to be an archaeologist. It was really interesting to be able to look at objects and see what they tell us about the Romans and be able to explore what life would be like. We discovered a replica commander’s house, visited a soldier’s barracks and looked around the museum. We imagined what it would be like on watch at the entrance to the fort. We discovered that the Romans had a big impact on this area as well as the rest of Britain. We were very lucky to visit to see it first hand
