We had a great time at Yorkshire Museum this week.
Before lunch, we had plenty of time to explore the museum exhibits — the Roman gallery was a clear favourite! We loved dressing up as Romans, spotting Latin words we recognised from our lessons, writing our names using the Latin alphabet and getting up close to swords and helmets discovered by archaeologists. One highlight was examining the impressive Roman mosaic floor and imagining what life might have been like all those years ago.
We also made exciting pit stops in the Viking and Jurassic exhibitions, where there was lots to see and discover.
After lunch, the fun continued with a hands-on Roman workshop. We learned key vocabulary, examined real artefacts and even practised marching like Roman soldiers. The perfect end to the day (for some, at least!) was an action-packed showdown — charging at the defenceless Celt, Mrs Poole, armed with swords and shields!
A brilliant day full of history, discovery and plenty of smiles.
