AUTUMN 2 - THE RAMPAGING ROMANS

This half term, we will be learning all about the Romans and how they impacted our lives today.

We'll be learning about: 

• Naming some countries that were part of the Roman Empire
• Why did the Romans invade Britain?
• Why did the Romans build roads in Britain?
• Why did the Romans build Hadrian’s Wall?
• Who was Boudica and why is she important?

Week beginning 8th December

Some amazing gymnastics from Miss Talia's dance class!

Week beginning 1st December

This week has been a busy week for our children as they've been doing some reading, Maths and SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) assessments. They've worked ever so hard on these and we're really proud of them all. They did get messy and creative during a very enjoyable History topic lesson about Roman roads. They looked at the different layers of what a Roman road was made up of and then smashed up: cereal, smarties, biscuits and chocolate to recreate the roads. Great fun!!!

Week beginning 24th November 

Our Year 4s have been hard at work this week! We discovered a time capsule treasure chest which our teachers left for us! Then the children got busy writing about a special object of ours and we even buried it on the school grounds!! The children were loving writing about some of their teachers' objects. During Art, the children got creative using chalk to design their own Roman columns. PE is where the children got to burn off a lot of energy, creating fantastic shapes! 

Week beginning 17th November

 

The children have been enjoying our guitar lessons this half-term. Learning how to sing and play Mambo Italiano by Dean Martin. Fantastic musicians in Year 4! Within our History Topic, The Rampaging Romans, the children got creative after learning all about Hadrian's Wall. They were tasked with building a wall which included: a fort, turret and mile house.

Thank you to all the adults who were able to make our fantastic times tables and multiplication workshop. For those who weren't able to attend, here is a copy of what we spoke about and did during the workshop. Some excellent resources and games to make learning times tables fun and memorable for the children.
