Class 10s day!

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!

Crew Ambler – Geography

This morning as part of our geography hook lesson we learnt about the different layers of the rainforest and how they are different from each other. This afternoon we then took part in a VR workshop and experienced what life is like in the Amazon rainforest. Well done Crew Ambler it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves!

Crew Knowles: Who were the Romans?

We kick started Hook Week this week by looking at who the Romans were, where they came from and where they conquered! I was so impressed with the prior knowledge and I’m excited for our expedition!

Now we know who the Romans were, we are going to have fun creating mosaics and weapons as well as enjoying some gladiator games and a Roman battle!

Hook Week – Day 1! 🏛️

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!

Crew Spetch – The Lorax

This morning, we practiced our cursive handwriting before creating a piece of artwork with a quote from ‘The Lorax’. Everyone created some beautiful pieces that are displayed in our classroom but these guys were especially proud of their efforts! Well done everyone!
