Crew Barnett Home Learning
It has been great to see the home learning that you’ve been doing. Well done Jersey, Blake, Charlie and Edward! Don’t forget you can find the tasks in the UKS2 Extended Study tab.
Roman Workshop visit! 🏛️
Well, it is fair to say that Class 10 loved their Roman workshop visitor. They loved hearing lots of new facts about the Romans from Clare and taking part in lots of exciting opportunities. This ranged from learning to march like the Romans would have (using Latin commands) to acting out Roman plays.
Here, Class 10 were preparing for battle by marching and getting into the Testudo (tortoise shell) formation:
We then started to learn some more Latin and translated one of our ‘Slaves’ shopping lists:
Next, we learned about Roman physics and built our own arches and aqueducts. We especially loved this!
Finally, we finished off by writing on Roman wax boards, playing the Roman game of knuckle bones and with a little bit of drama to end the day:
Class 10 would like to thank Clare for their great day! 😆
Crew Knowles: Beautiful Maths
Class 11 have been working so hard to get to grips with our new maths books and have produced some beautiful work today! I was so proud of their presentation but also their amazing maths skills!
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!
Class 8 super home learning
I have been blown away with the amount of home learning that class 8 have been bringing in recently! Well done Elea for working so hard! I particularly love that Thomas made cookies with his Nanna and took them to the police station to say thank you for being a local hero. Great work guys!

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 12 – Roman Forts 🏛️
In our expedition lesson today, we looked at Roman forts and settlements. We looked at a what a settlement may have looked like in Celtic Britain and how that might have changed following the Roman invasion. We also looked at Roman forts and some of the different buildings you may find inside one!
