This week, year 4 became archaeologists and investigated the ancient Romans. They had an amazing day at the ancient Roman town of Verulamium near St. Albans, becoming Romans, touching and investigating real Roman artifacts and seeing some incredible mosaics that they were allowed to run their hands over.
The children were incredibly excited throughout and after their ignite day and they have some wonderful ideas for their project.
Today, year 6 visited Oakgrove Secondary School for their first taster of secondary style lesson and learning.
