On 21 November 2024, the Year 3 children visited Colchester Castle, exploring its rich history as both a Roman temple and a Norman fortress. The children learnt about Colchester’s significance as the capital of Roman Britain and its role in mediaeval England. They also viewed well-preserved artifacts, such as Roman pottery and tools. The visit included interactive workshops where the children dressed in period costumes and learnt about ancient weaponry, providing a hands-on experience of life in Roman and mediaeval times.  The children had a fantastic time!
