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!
Today the children had a lovely morning making catapults as part of their Roman expedition, they all worked collaboratively together and then went outside into the sunshine to try them. Well done everyone!!! 😊
In year 3 this morning we started the morning lesson off with shield painting linked to Roman expedition, can’t wait to see the finished product.
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! 🙂
To help the children build upon their own vocabulary and also to ensure our kindness and positivity rocks didn’t all say the same thing 😅, we introduced a little vocabulary task using a thesaurus. The children had to use a thesaurus to look up our popular words and write down as many synonyms they could find for each. It was tricky but they definitely did a good job! Well done guys!
Class 9 were faced with the question this week to try a work out what crew means to them. To help us with this task we went on a little tour around the school to see if we can see Crew in action. This included children and staff, full classes, groups and just passing children and adults in the corridor. We were all really impressed at what the children in class 9 were able to pick up on around their school and how amazingly confident they were at talking about crew in various places around school.
What definitely stood out to the children in our school is that they saw so much kindness, sharing, encouragement, love and respect from the children to each other, children to staff and staff to children, that these words were definitely the main focus of our feedback and discussion after in our debrief circle. We also posted some shout out certificates on our school shout-out boards for some of the groups that really stood out to us! Amazing work guys! Really was lovely to hear you talk so beautifully about crew 🥰.
Our first team building session this week was pass the hoop! The children were brilliant in this and really understood and took on board our discussions around what good team work should look like, sound like and feel like. Well done guys this was definitely a great success!
Every Monday, until further notice, Year 3 will have PE in an afternoon with Kixx. Please can you ensure that children come with their correct school PE kit which is also weather appropriate. Thank you.
We can’t wait to get started!
Shoutout to Year 3- could you all please bring in a cereal box (maybe 2 if you have a spare?). Next week we are getting crafty in our hook week, but we will need some empty cereal boxes. If you have one please send it with the children as soon as possible, they will be being used on Wednesday!
Thank you! Miss Good, Mrs Pearson and Mr Gerrard.
