P4 Let Loose!

This week, Primary 4 were let loose and embarked on their school trip to Callendar House (yes Miss McLaughlin, CALLENDAR House, not Kinneil House).

We had a fantastic Roman workshop and learned more about how the Antonine Wall was built. The ladies there were very impressed that we were building our own model in the playground!

We then got to dress up in essential Roman soldier uniform. We, of course, are citizens of Pumpherston & Uphall Station (not Rome), so we could not take on the role of a Legionary. We became Auxiliaries instead.

Have a look at some of our photos below 🙂
