Year 3 – Hook Week Learning
This week has been all about getting ourselves hooked into the learning that we are about to embark on throughout Autumn term … in particular, our exciting new expedition all about the Romans – Coming to Doncaster; Why Then, Why Now?
Children have enjoyed getting to grips with geography to find out where Rome is in the world and they have got stuck in to all of our new expedition books! In reading, we have explored the historical story book, Vlad and the Roman Triumph and we have been learning all about the Roman armies and their armour. We made our own helmets and designed our own shields, as well as making dolly peg soldiers. In maths, we learned about timelines and calendars, and we even found out about Roman numerals before linking these to the clock and having a go at making our own! We were amazed by the history of the Roman colosseum and had a go at sketching this as carefully as possible. Then, we wrapped up all our learning with an amazing dress-up and workshop day where we were able to impress our expert visitors with the knowledge we already had about the Romans and their invasions.
At home, why not ask us about the different designs on a Roman shield and what they represent? And, why was red the colour of their military?
Year 3 – Roman Extravaganza!
Wowwee … what a fabulous Roman day we’ve had today in LKS2. A huge thank you to everyone who managed to dress up – your costumes looked AMAZINGGG!
Our visitors from Doncaster Heritage were fantastic and so knowledgeable … they held an assembly for us in the morning where we learned so many interesting facts. Did you know … the Romans used cobwebs to treat cuts and scrapes??? Then, children also had a chance to get hands-on with some real Roman artefacts and replicas, as well as asking lots of questions.
To finish the day off, we have enjoyed some Roman-themed arts and crafts alongside the Horrible Histories movie … what an awesome day!
Year 2 PE

Class 7 – Hook Week (Day 3 and 4)!
On day 3, Class 7 learned about Martin Luther King jr and the impact he had on his community. We were inspired to write down the hopes and dreams we have for own community, for ourselves and those we care about!
On day 4, we dressed up as super heroes. We drew our heroes and we made the heroes that help us in our local community!
Here are the heroes of Class 7!
