Well, what a great end to a great week Class 10 of had. We Have made our own Roman soldier dolly pegs and they look great. I’m really proud of the creative designs.
We also tested our shields and weapons out. We tested the defences in true Roman formation and I am happy to say that they worked!
I am really impressed with our Crew norms after just 2 weeks and can’t wait for us to continue to improve. Thanks for an enjoyable week and have a fantastic weekend, Class 10! 🙂
Year 3 enjoyed painting their Roman shields in the sunshine this morning ☀️
Afterwards, the children worked collaboratively in groups to create their own Onager catapults before going outside to test them out.
They then tested the catapults to see whose went the furthest distance and who could hit the targets.
Well done everyone – you were little superstars!
Firstly, I would like to say a massive thank you to adults for coming out in this heat and getting stuck right into the Roman sword making. I am sure the children really appreciate it as well.
We had a lot of fun making the weaponry and we will put it to good use in our battle tomorrow!
Class 10 had a unique Crew this morning, where they drew around a friends body outside and said what they thought made them special! They were lovely to see.
What a great day of reading we’ve had from our reading block lesson to listening to our learning council read to us – we have loved it. A special thank you to Reef for fantastic reading, in hot conditions – Crew Gerrard loved it!
To say that this was Class 10s first attempt at reading block, they smashed it out of the park. We had some super discussions about our class text, whilst also trying to make predictions about the book based on illustrations, the title and also the blurb. We also discussed what fiction and non-fiction was.
We also learned about how the Romans used mosaics as part of their artwork, so we thought… why don’t we do the same? Although there were many bits and our hands were full of glue, we still enjoyed creating our very own mosaics!
Finally, we ended the day with our own Roman sports day. We had chariot racing, Roman hurdles, marching practise and we even had a shot put event. Despite the heat (it really did feel like and Italian summer) we loved it!
Tomorrow (Wednesday 6th September) is National Read a Book Day!
Why not enjoy a book together after school to celebrate the day? We’d love for you to email us any photos of you enjoying your reading!
What a great start to Hook Week by Class 10. We wondered who the Romans were, where they came from and what they did for us? So what better way to learn about the Romans than research about them. We did this collaboratively and were able to create some really factual anchor charts that we will be able to use!
I cannot fault Class 10s start to the week – it really was super!
As part of Hook Week, Year 3 and 4 will be having a Roman sports day tomorrow afternoon as part of our Hook Week. Please, can children come in their uniform but bring PE kits in a bag ready to change into later in the afternoon for the Gladiator Games.
Thanks! 🙂
Well, we’ve ended the week really well in Class 10 and I am really pleased with how well we are starting to adapt to our new classroom norms! I know that we will continue to get better and better as the weeks and year progresses. We started the day off by voting for our new Crew Councillor, Learning Councillor and also our Digital Leader. We had so many people want to have a role it was great to see!
Then, we continued to build our Crew further. We had to get across the classroom without “slipping” off of the rocks and onto the carpet. We had great fun and lots of encouragement was on show again!
After break, we went on a scavenger hunt looking for a variety of things in the playground, like feathers, flying insects and a varying flowers around the school and playground. We loved working together to find these items!
Finally, we concluded the day by painting our rocks as an end to our final product about what Crew meant to us. We have some really lovely designs!
I really hope Class 10 have enjoyed this week as much as I have! Have a lovely weekend and come back ready for hook week! 😆
