Willows and Cherries visited the Roman fort of Segedunum in Wallsend. All term they have been learning about the Romans, so it was the perfect visit to conclude their topic ‘Emperors and Empires’.

The children took part in a workshop where they were enrolled in the Roman army! They had to take the oath and practise for battle using their spears and shields.

They then took a rather rainy walk around the fort ruins to get a real feel for how the Romans would have lived and worked together.
