Hadrian’s Wall Virtual Focus Day

Join us on Thursday 28th November 2024 at 10:10am for a half an hour virtual workshop live from the Roman Army Museum! Climate vs Archaeology: A Battle for the Past with the Vindolanda Trust will delve into what we can learn from an object and explore what we might lose as a result of climate change. Please follow the link below to register your interest and find out more about the day.

For a comprehensive education visit we recommend visiting both the Roman Army Museum and Roman Vindolanda Fort & Museum.

We aim to offer fun and exciting as well as educational sites to visit. We have prepared three curriculum based themed packs for you and your students to get the most from your day.

Not only will your class learn about the Romans, but they will be able to address and devise historically valid questions about change, cause, and significance. They will be able to ask historically valid questions by looking at different aspects of the site and museums. They will explore a range of sources to gain knowledge of how the past is constructed and identify ways in which it is presented by gathering information from a variety of primary and secondary sources. The students will also work in supportive groups and cooperate to complete a task. They can demonstrate an ability to take responsibility for their learning process and they will work to develop empathy by looking at history from different angles. Finally, they will gain confidence by exploring an archaeological site and museums.
