Bleasdale Class went on an awesome school trip to Beacon Fell

Bleasdale Class went on an awesome school trip to Beacon Fell, and it was all about stepping back in time to ancient Rome! The whole day was filled with fun, learning, and a lot of imagination.

As soon as we arrived, we got into character—some of us were senators, others were centurions, soldiers, and even slaves. We role-played what it would be like to set up a Roman camp, which was pretty cool. Everyone had their own tasks, and we worked together just like a real Roman group would have done.

For lunch, we even got to taste what Romans ate—Roman soup! It was a simple but delicious meal, which really made us feel like we were living in the past. Afterward, we scouted out an area where we imagined a Roman fort could be built. We discussed the best spot and why it would work for defence and supplies—kind of like mini-architects and military planners!

Overall, it was a great day, full of hands-on history, teamwork, and just having fun outside. We all left with a better understanding of Roman life and some great memories!
