Fishbourne Roman Palace

Year Three visited Fishbourne Roman Palace today near Chichester as part of their Romans topic. We had a workshop at the beginning of the day. We were experimental archaeologists.





We learned what it would be like to work in an Ancient Roman kitchen as a slave.
 


 
The son and daughter of the King were there to oversee the work being done.

 
 
We looked around the mosaic room and museum. We saw the remains of the under floor heating system and the beautiful mosaics.
 


As the weather was good for us we were able to explore the gardens.

 

 We were able to have a bit of fun amongst all the learning!




 
Thank you very much to all the staff at Fishbourne for a great day and to the parent helpers who came with us. Thank you.
