We had a fantastic day in Chester on Monday. The children were met off the coaches by two Roman soldiers. They then trained us in how to be soldiers in the Roman Army, learning formations and strategies to attack their enemies. They also taught us some training chants that we sang in Latin as we marched through the streets of Chester.

We learnt about what Chester looked like as a Roman settlement and looked at the ancient Roman walls that are still in place today.

The children had the opportunity to explore two of the museums to see genuine artefacts and also to attempt some of the challenges, such as building arches.
