YR8 VISIT TO FISHBOURNE ROMAN PALACE

STOP THE CLOCK DAY YEAR 7 SCIENCE MUSEUM TRIP

The entire Tiffin Year 7 embarked on their first trip, dubbed the ‘ Trip of The Ages ’ to the Science Museum in South Kensington on Stop the Clock Day. 7JM particularly enjoyed the sections of ‘ Engineer Your Future ’ where they participated in several educational games and activities where they learnt about vehicles; an example of an activity was a game where you could create your own vehicle and see how far it would get. We saw many other fascinating and important scientific discoveries when we were there as well as engineering feats of people in the olden days, including a documentary on different planets with holographic imagery. A great day was had by all! Noah, Raagh, Shriyans & Arawin, 7JM

180 Year 8 Tiffinians enjoyed a day at Fishbourne Roman Palace on Stop the Clock Day. During the course of the visit, they had the opportunity to admire the site's extensive archaeological remains, including some of Europe's finest Roman mosaics. In addition, they participated in a Technology & Construction Workshop with an archaeologist and also experienced what Roman School was like in 1 st Century Britain. Students also undertook research and filming in preparation for their project work for which they have been tasked with producing a 'Grand Designs' style documentary about the Palace. My thanks, as always, go to the staff who accompanied us on the trip, as well as the boys themselves whose behaviour was impeccable and enthusiasm unmistakable.
