Year 4 Aquincum Visit

Year 4 Aquincum Visit - Year 4 Aquincum Visit

Over the last 2 weeks the year 4 classes have taken a step back in time to the era of the ancient Romans. Visiting the local site of the Roman settlement of Aquincum, the children were able to imagine what life could have been like in those times. They enjoyed learning about Roman toilet habits, including the infamous 'poo stick' as well as about how Romans ate whilst reclining on divans. In the afternoon, the children took part in arts and crafts activities, practising mosaic-making skills, painting frescos and leather purse making. They all thoroughly enjoyed discovering history literally on our doorstep.
