Reception Owl Experience

The children in Reception had a fantastic visit from ‘The Yorkshire Owl Experience’. The children loved listening to Steve about the owls and enjoyed having the opportunity to stroke and hold some owls. We learned many new words and facts about owls. Their names, more about their habitat, feeding and the different types of owls. All children have personal photographs in their learning files that will be shared with you as the year progresses.

Class 8’s fantastic diary entries

Today the children discussed how it would feel to be in the middle of the great fire of London and spoke in full sentences with their talk partners about what they would see. They came up with some fantastic vocabulary and I was blown away with their first drafts. I have included a small sample in the photographs. Well done Class 8, keep up this fantastic learning,

Year 4: More Murton Park!

What a fantastic day we had at Murton Park today! We greeted Marcus in Latin and then had a tour around a Roman fort before getting dressed in our Roman tunics!

We spent the morning practising our Roman writing and maths skills and also signed a 25 year contract for the Roman army! We also enjoyed making Roman pots which we were able to fetch home.

After lunch in the barracks, we learned more about the armour and weapons that the Romans used. We then practised some military drills with our spear and shield. We also practised javelin throwing and learnt how the army would use a Gladius for fighting! The shields were so heavy!

Finally, to end a busy day we practised the Testudo! After all our hard work, we were paid our wages at the ceremony and were also able to fetch our wages home with us!
