Hello Year Three Families
What a way to end our Roman topic!
Our day began at Maiden Castle, where the children stepped back in time to re-enact the clash between the Celts and the Romans. The hillfort came alive with the sounds of battle cries such as “Victory to the Roman Empire!” and “Keep off our hillfort!” as the children took on their roles with great enthusiasm. We created dramatic freeze frames to capture key moments of the battle and thought carefully about what each side might have been feeling. In the end, the Romans proved victorious, just as they did in history.
Back at school, we were incredibly lucky to hear from Dorset County archaeologist, Steve Wallis, who brought Roman Dorchester to life through his fascinating knowledge and stories. The children were fully engaged and asked some brilliant questions.
We then made a special detour to the Corn Exchange where we were amazed by 'Helios.'
After this, we made our way round to Dorchester Roman Town House, where we were met by the team from Dorset County Museum. They gave us a guided tour and provided further insight into life in Roman Dorchester, helping to deepen the children’s understanding of how people lived during this time.
It truly was a memorable day, bringing together everything the children have learnt this term. Well done, Year 3 – you were fantastic historians!
