On 23rd April, R9 paid a visit to the Roman Legion Museum and Roman Fortress and Baths in Caerleon. Here are some of the children's reflections of our trip:
[I enjoyed]...”learning that some children lost milk teeth in the baths.” Jonathan Z
“I really liked screaming when we were charging with the scutum and gladius.” Heath G.
“Something that made me laugh was when we did the tortoise formation…” Ahmed J.
[Something that made me laugh was]...watching a clip of a Roman plucking his hair with tweezers…” Reuben W.
“My highlights were when we saw the barracks and tried the armour…”.Harben C.
“My favourite part was when we saw the beds..and when we pretended to be Romans…we tried the lorica segmentata . It was funny because we looked comical!” Zara P.
“It was very sad that they stayed away from families and friends for 25 years…” Ayeza K
“I learnt that the Romans walked 20 miles a day. I thought that was a long, long way to walk..” Hareem H.
“My favourite bit was looking at the weapons in the museum and my favourite weapon was the gladius (sword). Toby M.
“I enjoyed the roleplay…I liked the part where we charged!” Kian B.
“I’d like to know why they worshipped dolphins next.” Jonathan Z.
