Class 12 – Roman Workshop 🏛️

What a day it has been in Year 4 today! We were lucky enough to have Clare come into school to lead a Roman workshop for us. We managed to complete a wide-range of Roman-related different activities throughout the day.

We began the day with introductions and greetings in Latin. Once we had done this, we learnt what it would be like to be a part of the Roman army with Reuben making a great soldier! We then put our skills to good use during marching practise with Natalia doing a great job of leading the group! Take a look at our testudo!

Next, we practised writing Roman numerals and letters using the wax tablets. This was a method of writing that allowed the Romans to reuse the same equipment (a little bit like our whiteboards!)

We finished before dinner with a game of Merels. This was a two player game from the Roman times, very similar to noughts and crosses, which the children loved!

After lunch, we were introduced to Roman arches and aqueducts. We were able to build our own and could see the amazing physics behind the construction of an arch. Finally, we finished off with Roman mosaics to create some interesting patterns!

Here are some of the finished mosaics!

Year 2 visitor

Year 2 have had a special visitor this afternoon from James Fenwick who is a firefighter working for Humberside fire and rescue service. He told us all about his job and what he does day to day, his special kit that he wears and how to stay safe near fires and what to do in an emergency.

The children have loved asking questions and gained lots of new knowledge all about a local hero.

Thank you

The year 2 team

Class 7 – Another Fantastic Week

Well done to Class 7 on another fantastic week in Year 2. This week we have enjoyed lots of hook activities to engage us in our learning and we look forward to getting started with our expedition and Year 2 curriculum next week. We have enjoyed team games, such as tying ourselves into a human knot and working together to untangle ourselves … great problem solving boys and girls, keep it up!

Our Superhero dress up day has been fantastic and a huge thank you for everyone taking part – you all looked amazing. Here’s to a super weekend for you all!

Class 5 – Helping Hands

I am super proud of Class 5 today. Not only have they shown some fantastic learning habits but their behaviour on our visit to Sainsbury’s was fantastic. The children walked sensibly all the way there and back. The children really enjoyed helping to pack the shopping for the customers. The staff were so kind and welcoming towards the children. Well done class 5 for spreading some joy around our local community. As well as being super kind helpers the children certainly made lots of people smile today!

VR workshop- The Amazon

Today we were lucky enough to experience VR and bring our learning to life! From ants scurrying on the forest floor to gazing at sloths within the trees, we were able to learn about the four layers like we were there- amazing!

Crew Hilton/ Dutton

We’ve started our art work for The Great Fire of London. We have created backgrounds with flames and started to cut out some silhouettes to show some buildings. Keep checking the blog to see the finished art work this week.

Keep up the great work class 7!

Class 5 – Making an impact

Today we have been exploring our guiding question ‘How does what I do impact others?’ Today we did a litter pick around school and we sorted materials that could be recycled. We also played a fun memory game in our crew session and practised our phonics skills. The children have been awesome again today. I think it is going to be a fantastic year!

Great first day back!

We’ve had a lovely first day in our new class in year 2! We cant wait to show you all what we have been working on today, hopefully we can bring them home soon and share them with our grown ups.

See you all tomorrow.
