Last week, we took 90 Year 7 pupils to Bath, as part of their study on Roman Britain.
The baths, which take water from Britain’s largest thermal spring, were originally built over 2000 years ago, by the Romans but left buried for centuries until the grand monument was rediscovered under some buildings in the late 1870s. Pupils took part in a workshop to explore and handle primary sources and ‘think like archaeologists’. They also toured the baths and its many rooms. They then enjoyed an hour in the afternoon around the festive Christmas market in the city centre, where lots of presents were bought and sweet treats were consumed! All pupils were a credit to the school and had a brilliant time aside from the very very long journey home at the end of the day!
