Y4 had a wonderful visit to Arbeia Roman Fort. The staff gave us a fantastic tour of the ruins before we completed a ‘handling workshop’ where we looked at objects that were nearly 2000 years old!

In the workshop we were taught how archaeologists act as detectives to find out more about the objects they have found and what they can tell us about the past.

We really enjoyed looking the reconstructed buildings to see what life was like at the fort for the soldiers who lived there.
