Year 4 Trip to Vindolanda 
 
We had a fantastic time at Vindolanda on Tuesday this week. The children found exploring the ruins of the Roman fort incredibly interesting and they worked really hard to use their imaginations to picture what it would have looked like thousands of years ago. We had the opportunity to speak to some archaeologists on site who were excavating a new part of the site. In the museum, we saw some of the artefacts that the archaeologists had found, including shoes, skulls and coins. We also saw the Vindolanda writing tablets as well as a temple replica on site. 
 
The children were fantastic and very mindful of respecting the historical site, as well as other visitors.

Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. 
 
We have had a very exciting week this week. We took part in a 'Dance-a-thon' on Tuesday afternoon which was a lot of fun and we were able to choreograph moves to our own dance. We had an amazing time singing and playing instruments during our music workshop on Wednesday. Then, we found out some really interesting historical facts from the Mayor visiting our school on Thursday!
