Caerleon
On our trip to south Wales we visited the Roman Barracks where, nearly two thousand years ago, the Roman soldiers used to live. We also visited the Roman baths, the museum and the Amphitheatre. We had lots of fun looking around the museums and dressing up like Roman people. Before dressing up we had lunch whilst watching a video (the video was about Romans) .We also learnt how to use Roman kitchen tools. When we visited the remains of a Roman bath house we saw a program which explained that lots of important gems were dropped down the drain, as well as some childrens’ milk teeth!

The best thing about our trip to the Roman town of Isca was the
Amphitheatre and the gladiator fight between
William Pownall, Tad Hulacki and William Bowditch.
The barracks was home ( about 2000 years ago) to the Roman
Garrison in Caerleon.
The smelliest place was in the roman Kitchen (it's fake.)
Because there's a dead rabbit
(yes, really!)
And some Herbs.
The museum had some extremely good models and metal armour.

On our trip to Caerleon in south of wales
First we set off at 8:00 am, we couldn’t wait to get there!
There was a buzz of excitement on the bus
When we got on the bridge. Everybody was shouting "The bridge! The bridge!"When we finally got off the bus we went to the Roman barracks it was very exciting, Did you know eight Roman soldiers had to share one bedroom between them?
Going back to our report on what our trip was like, next we went to
the Amphitheatre where the Romans were entertained with gladiator fights and chariot races, beast shows.
Then we went to the Roman Baths that showed where the Romans washed, exercised, chatted and wrestled. After that we went to the museum we had to do a sheet it wasn’t that hard at first but it got harder.
We saw lots of Gemstones that were washed down the drain in the baths. After about half an hour we had lunch and watched a video and after that we split up into groups and one group went to the Roman Barracks to see what it might to have been like to live there. The other group went to see what it might have been like to be ordinary Roman. After that the groups swapped over. Then we ran out of time and had to go back to Dorset !
