Bleasdale Trip to the Ribchester Roman Museum

On the 17th September Bleadale visited Ribchester Museum to learn more about Roman history. The museum is located in the village of Ribchester, which used to be a Roman fort.

 As soon as we arrived, we were excited to see the old artefacts and explore the displays. The museum had lots of interesting objects like pottery, coins, and weapons, which showed us what life was like during Roman times. We were amazed by the well-preserved items and how they were used by people so many years ago.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the famous Roman helmet. It was made of bronze and had a beautiful design. The guide explained how Roman soldiers would wear helmets like this to protect themselves in battle. We also learned about the Roman baths and how the Romans built roads and buildings that are still important today. The interactive displays helped us understand more about the daily lives of the Romans and how their empire influenced the world.

At the end of the trip, we had a chance to take part in a fun workshop. We tried on Roman costumes, handled replica artefacts. It was a great experience, and we all learned so much about Roman history. The trip to Ribchester Museum was both educational and enjoyable, and it helped us appreciate how the past connects to our lives today.
