Latin and Ancient History students from the Sir John Colfox Academy enjoyed a trip back in time when they visited the Ancient Technology Centre.
Around 30 students explored ancient buildings at the centre near Cranborne, before trying their hand at historic crafts, lighting fires and building from willow.

They built a fire in the Iron Age earth house, before exploring the Viking long house, a Stone Age Round House and a Roman Forge and Water Lifting Machine.
The trip follows the launch of the school’s new classics hub, which offers students more opportunities to study Latin, Greek, ancient history and the classical world.
Dr Neil Allies, Head of Languages and Cultures at the Sir John Colfox Academy, led the trip.
He said: “Going inside the ancient buildings and exploring items from the past, like cooking pots, beds and weapons, gave students a fascinating sense of what it might have been like to live thousands of years ago.”
