Class 11: Roman Workshop

Class 11 have had a fantastic day today as we were lucky enough to have Clare come into school to lead a Roman workshop for us. They managed to complete a wide-range of Roman-related activities throughout the day and had lots of fun doing so!

They began the day with introductions and greetings in Latin and then used wax tablets to practise their Roman numerals and letters. They even completed a shopping list!

They then learnt what it would be like to be a part of the Roman army with Hollie definitely making a fantastic soldier! They practised their marching skills and even practised forming a testudo!

After lunch, Class 11 enjoyed learning more about aqueducts and enjoyed creating their own. They also produced more colourful mosaics with some great patterns! Finally, they enjoyed playing some Roman games including one called Knucklebones!

What a busy and fantastic day! They’ve learnt so much that will really support in our upcoming expedition learning!

Crew Knowles: Edible Roads!

Today we created a cross section of a Roman road using biscuits and chocolate! We learnt about the 4 main layers of the Roman road that helped to make it so strong and durable. The best part was eating the road afterwards!

Crew Knowles: Roman Timeline

Today we started our work looking at the timeline of the Romans. We had to work with BC and AD dates which is a really tricky concept! We started by ordering the dates in the correct order and we will add information to them later.

Crew Knowles: Home Learning

Well done to Kaila and Georgia who have produced some lovely home learning! Kaila completed addition and subtraction sums in Roman numerals and Georgia spent time looking at the Roman gods and coming up with a Roman banquet! Well done girls!

Crew Knowles: Family Learning

We’ve had a lovely afternoon creating swords and helmets ready for our Roman battle! Thank you to all the parents that braved the heat and managed not to melt! I was so impressed with everyone’s creativity and resilience because it was a tricky task making the swords! More pictures to follow!
