St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School: Y4/Y5 visit to Arbeia Roman Fort

Thanks to the Classical Association’s grant, the children from St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School had a great day out at Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields as part of a curriculum enrichment trip.

The grant allowed for the children to receive a workshop comprising a guided tour around the ruins of the fort. All of the children enjoyed themselves, especially going to the top of the West Gate where they could overlook the whole site.

The children engaged with primary sources both in and out of the museum, including handling precious artefacts and figuring our what they were originally used for!
