Recently Primary 4 went on a trip to Motherwell Heritage Centre to learn even more about The Romans. Gillian our helper talked to us and let us try on togas, roman soldier uniforms and we even got to see real artefacts from Roman Baths and houses. We all had a fantastic time and loved learning all about the Romans.
