Trip to Fishbourne Palace
On Wednesday, we left early in the morning to board a coach for the Fishbourne Palace, in Chichester, very, very far away from Brixton.
Hopefully, the journey was to help us find out a bit more about our current topic, the Romans.
Upon arrival, we began the exploration of the ruins of what used to be a very grandiose palace. The floor mosaics reminded us of all the pictures we discussed in class and we read about in our information books about the Romans.
Following our short theatrical stop, we headed off to the workshops waiting for us.

Don't forget to have a look at our Flickr page for the pictures of the trip, and stop by the class work page to check out some of the work done during the trip.
And finally, do leave a few comments, and try to answer some of the questions.
What new fact about the Romans did you learn during the trip?
What part of the trip impressed you the most?
What new words related to the Romans did you learn (how do you call the clothes Roman emperors, princes and senators would wear, for example)?
Can you find some interesting facts from the Internet or the library about the Fishbourne Palace?
1.Although local people had known of the existence of Roman remains in the area, it was not until 1960 that the archaeologist Barry Cunliffe first systematically excavated the site, which had been accidentally uncovered by workmen when a water main was being laid.
