Today P5 and P3/4 had an exciting visitor- a legionary soldier all the way from Rome! The children were fascinated to hear all about life in the army and see his armour and battle techniques. @AntonineGuard

IO SATURNALIA Saturnalia was the ancient Roman festival in honour of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and the harvest, held on the 17th of December through to the 23rd of December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum.

Dumbarton Castle was certainly rocking yesterday with an invasion of Vikings, Romans, medieval armies and much more for The Rock of Ages. If you missed out, the good news is we're getting ready to do it all again today from 12pm! #HistoricDaysAwait historicenvironment.scot/roc…
