Roman history brought to life! 🏛️✨ This week, Year 4 stepped back in time with a fantastic visit to Fishbourne Roman Palace, exploring Roman life and seeing some of the incredible history they’ve been learning about in the classroom first-hand. And while we love hearing about everything our pupils discover on trips, we were especially proud to receive a wonderful message afterwards from a member of the public who had crossed paths with our Year 4s during their visit. They were so impressed by the children that they took the time to write to our Headmaster - and we couldn’t resist sharing their lovely words. 💛 Swipe to read ➡️ Well done, Year 4. Wonderful ambassadors for Farlington, both in and out of the classroom. ProudToBeFarlington
