The Segedunum Learning and Engagement team of Beth and Kirsty joined me at Denbigh Primary School at Wallsend. We had an action-packed day completing the metal foil designs and having a Big Draw - creating a drawing of the area round Segedunum and the end of the Wall now - with today’s Frontier Voices some of the young people from the school, which will go on one side of the ‘stones’ and the names of the Romans who were here on the other side. The picture is 3 metres long and 1.8 metres high. After working with 2 classes and about 60 young people we were exhausted by the end of the day. I left with all the pieces of work to start the next part. Over the next two weeks I have to assemble everything to create our Wall mobile ready to install the completed artwork in the Shrine of the Standards before the 23rd of June when the school are coming to Segedunum to celebrate! There will undoubtedly be more about this to follow as the assembly is going to be tricky ..........
