Class 9 and the silent Roman discussion

Class 9 used some pictures of the Roman Empire to practise using question marks. We looked at the pictures and got our thinking caps on, what did we want to know about these images? We used the silent discussion protocol to ask questions to find out more about what we could see and what went on in Roman times!

Year 3’s Roman day!

We had a wonderful visitor in today in Year 3, Clare from the amazing Want2Be Workshops came to help us explore our expedition theme this term; Romans! The children had so much fun dressing up as soldiers, marching like a Roman legionary, using wax tablets to translate Roman writing, creating arches and aqueducts and playing a popular Roman game; Knucklebones that Roman children (and bored soldiers) used to play… Did you know children still play this game in France?!

Well done to everyone for getting so stuck in, and a HUGE thank you to Clare, she runs a fantastically well organised workshop and had some fantastic equipment for us to see and use too!

Class 9: Roman shields

Today, we designed and decorated our Roman shields! The children seemed to really enjoy this and their designs were so lovely and unique! Great job everyone! Miss Good and I were very impressed with your efforts.

Class 9: place value maths.

Getting stuck back into some maths! Hook week tasks are so lovely but seeing them equally enjoy maths learning was so wonderful! Here they are practicing reading, and writing numbers upto 1000 in varied forms. Within this, the children had to show their understanding of the value of each digit in order to represent the number in different ways.

Class 9: Awesome Aqueducts

The children learnt a little about Roman engineering this week as we introduced them to aqueducts! Ask them at home and see what they can remember what is special about them!

After our little learning session, we then set the children the task of making there own out of cereal boxes. After looking at the common features and creating a remember to list the children got to making! And what a fab job they did too!
