Year 4's trip to the Leeds Discovery Centre linked to the Romans
Year 4 had an exciting trip to Leeds Discovery Centre to find out more about the Romans. Whilst they were there, they took part in some role play and acted out how the Romans invaded Yorkshire. The children then had a carousel of activities. The first activity had the children examine different, real Roman artefacts which had been found in Leeds. They had to wear gloves and be proper archaeologists! They then had a go at designing their own Roman coin. The children were able to see lots of different coins for inspiration. Finally, the children looked at different pots, some were intact however some were broken. They had to use their prediction skills to guess what they would have been used for and what they might have looked like back then. To finish the trip, the children had time to explore the vaults of the Discovery Centre. They saw an array of different animals, bones and remnants of the past!
