Y4’s Wonderful Trip To Lincoln Castle 2017

On Monday Y4 went to the wonderful Lincoln Castle. At Lincoln we were separated into three groups either Mr.Lord,Mrs.Dowding and Miss Law each group had a go at doing three different activities. The three different activities were Roman marching,Shield making and archeology digging. The helpers were called Chris,Lisa and Jen they helped us learn about the Romans. With Chris we did shield making which was fun because we designed are own eagle shields.

With Jen we did archeology digging do find Roman objects. When we finished we made our own mueseam once we had done that we went to a real museasm which had an antler comb.

Next we did Roman marching with Lisa but first we had to climb a spiral stair case with slippery banisters. Then we walked on top of the castle it had creaky wooden paths. Not all of it was wooden most of it was stone. Lisa taught us some new Roman words. Then we had to walk down a dark passage way the only light was coming from outside. Then we walked back into the old stone castle. We all walked down into a Victorian prison so we had space to practise our marching. Instead of  saying left right they said sin dex.

We got to wear helmet which were called galea hold a sword what was called gladius.
