Junior Boarders trip to Hadrian's Wall

On Sunday 3^rd February all the 4^th 5^th and 6^th years went to Hadrian's Wall. We all got into the minibus and set off. When we got to Chesters, we started to walk along a path. Then we came to the first site, where looked at the west gate. All these sites were made out of old Roman stones. There was an east gate too which we looked at. We saw the baker's oven there. We saw the commander's house. They all looked the same.

Then we saw the hypocaust in the field. We went to the bath house by the river. Then we went into the changing rooms. There were hot rooms, cold rooms and the loos. Rebecca got stuck on a really high bit of wall and George got stuck in the stoke hole!

Jessica Clark and Rebecca went into the cold bath. Millie had a bath with oil and Miss Bevan rubbed her down with her strigel!

We would like to thank Mr Spencer and Mr Hill for driving us there and back and for organizing the trip.
