Today, Class 10 have been learning about the life of a Roman soldier. We even learned the Latin names of items like a sword, helmet and shield amongst others. We learned that there was some positives of being a Roman soldier such as you are well fed and get equipment provided. However, there were negatives as well with the main one being that you could be killed!
Class 10 loved their time practising their passing skills with Coach Kyle.
We were really impressed with how well we did and the control we showed with our technique!
We have enjoyed some time in our lovey reading area today to read some books for pleasure.

Visit to Thorne Library
On Monday, as part of reading week, the children were given the chance to visit Thorne library. We had a huge selection of books that the children were able to take a look through. It was good opportunity for the children to find something they were interested in and hopefully engage them more with their reading.
In expedition, we have been looking at what life would be like as a Roman soldier. We looked at the different equipment that a soldier would carry and wear and tried to label the soldier using the Latin names for the items. We then looked at different soldiers within the Roman army and how a Roman legion was structured.
