Thea Green MBE Inspires Sixth Form at Nicholls Lecture Series

It was a pleasure to welcome Thea Green MBE, founder...

Year 3 had a fantastic visit to Deva Museum in Chester to bring their learning about the Romans to life!

The children took part in a session marching through Chester with a Roman soldier, where they learnt all about the Roman army and tried out different military formations.

In the afternoon, they explored the museum and stepped back in time, visiting a range of Roman rooms to discover more about food, weapons, bathhouses, toilets and much more.

It was an excellent trip – the children were a credit to the school with their enthusiasm and behaviour throughout!
Please join us for our annual festive celebration, taking place in two weeks time!! The concert will feature performances from our wide variety of music ensembles and is a staple in the calendar for the whole school community. 

We can't wait to see you there! 

Tickets are available on bookwhen.com/birkenheadschool (you can find the link in our bio and story highlights).

Tickets Β£5 (children free) | Bushell Hall | 15th December, 7pm
