Bleasdale class Roman Trip to Lancaster City Museum 09/12/2024

Bleasdale class visited the Lancaster City Museum, and it was an amazing day full of Roman history! The highlight of the trip was Marcus’s incredible presentation about Roman life. He really brought the past to life for us.

Marcus showed us lots of Roman artefacts, including weapons, armor, and even a Roman walking pack. It was so cool to see how soldiers carried everything they needed for long journeys. He also showed us Roman games, which were surprisingly fun—who knew the Romans liked to play so much?One of the best parts was when Marcus demonstrated how Roman soldiers marched. He taught us the Latin words they used: sinistra for left, dextra for right, and commands for stop and start. We even got to try marching ourselves—it was harder than it looked but so much fun!
