Our trip to Fulham Palace Museum to learn about The Romans

On our trip to Fulham Palace we learnt about the Romans. Firstly we looked at Roman objects that have been found in the soil under and around The River Thames. For example, they have found bottles, a bit of a leather shoe, pottery and broken clay pipes. We also saw coins from the past and one had a fat Emperor's head on it! The coins were very big (much bigger than the ones that we have today).

Later on, we all got to try on Roman clothes and we started to write about how some of the Roman things felt and looked (we were archaeologists). Jordan dressed up as an Emporor, wearing a toga and Ella was a Roman soldier. The rest of us were Celts or archers, poor Romans, princesses (who wore purple tunics) and blacksmiths.

We really enjoyed our trip and hope to go back again (for the third time!).
