Writes Annette O’Connor, Year 3 Class Teacher
Last Friday, Year 3 took a trip to the past when they visited the Verulamium Museum in St. Albans. The museum is built on the site of one of the largest Roman cities in Britain and is filled with ancient treasures and some of the finest mosaics outside of the Mediterranean. The boys enjoyed a workshop led by the curators of the museum, and learnt about the daily lives of Roman citizens, looking and handling artefacts. They even had the chance to dress up in Roman attire! After the workshop, Year 3 investigated a wonderful example of a preserved hypocaust complete with its mosaic floor. A real highlight of the day was when we went to see a current excavation dig up close and learnt more about the history hidden beneath St Michael’s Street. We all agreed that it was a wonderful trip!
