Class gallery
We welcomed a Roman soldier in to our school to teach us all about the Roman Empire and what the Romans did for us. We had such a fun day!
We have loved learning all about Diwali this November.
As part of our learning in science about teeth, we were visited by a dentist who discussed dental hygiene with us. We have been looking at the digestive system so made a real life model of this using straws, foil, paper and play dough to try and visualise the system better. We played top trumps this week to identify what prey a predator would eat.
In art, we are looking at creating Roman Mosaics so to start our unit we critiqued some Roman mosaics using a paper made rolling dice with critical artist questions to answer once rolled. The children loved this and was an interactive way to critique artwork.
It was lovely to invite parents back into school again to share our learning on Curriculum Day all about Remembrance. We learnt the song Wherever you are by the Military Wives and performed this to our parents. We learnt the poem ‘Home at Last’ by Tony Church. We then made our own personal Acrostic poem which we performed to our parents. We made poppies to stick on our wreath, listened to the reveille sound and made a small fact file on our significant person: Arsala Khan.
