The children were transported back to Roman times where they travelled across the sea to the Roman Fortress of Deva. They boarded a ship and learnt why the Romans invaded Britain and built the fortress of DEVA. They also learnt what it was like to be a Roman soldier nearly 2000 years ago. They were then enlisted to the Roman Army, where they met a veteran of the legion who put them through their paces as they worked as a team. They marched through Chester, chanting and carrying their shield as a military formation. Well done, J1 - you were a credit to yourselves and the school. Your enthusiasm and knowledge from your lessons shone through. **Tags:** [infantsandjuniors](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) [2022-2023](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2022-2023) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2023-06-16-lower-sixth-form-life-skills-day) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2023-06-19-sports-reports) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
