Rampaging Romans Knowledge Organiser Autumn 2

Autumn 2 Week Beginning 25th November

This week we used maps and an atlas to identify the countries that had been invaded by the Roman empire. We had to work collaboratively in our teams to try and figure out how the map puzzles fit together, based on the year that they represented.

Autumn 2 Week Beginning 18th November

This week the children have been learning about routers and networks in computing, as well as the differences between websites and webpages. The children were then asked to explore a list of websites and webpages to find out what information they could find on each site.

Autumn 2 Week Beginning 11th November

This week the children have been working on rolls, balances and travelling steps in gymnastics. In small groups they collaborated to create a routine which showcased the various different skills that they had learnt in the previous lesson. 

Autumn 2 Week Beginning 4th November

This week we introduced our new topic 'Rampaging Romans.'

On Thursday we had our WOW day, where we learnt about Roman catapults, Roman shields and laurel wreaths. The children spent the morning creating miniature catapults and laurel wreaths. In the afternoon they researched designs for Roman shields and sketched their favourite design on to a piece of paper. 

Autumn 1 Week Beginning 7th October

This week we wrote a set of instructions on 'How to keep you Iron Creature happy' we used rhetorical questions, time adverbials and expanded noun phrases to improve our instructions. We then shared our instructions with a partner and helped each other edit and improve our writing. 

Autumn 1 Week Beginning 30th September

This week we have been busy learning our times tables! We also had our first parents evening over the Tuesday and Thursday after school, thank you to all of the parents that attended.

 

As a reminder we have our first parent workshop coming up on Tuesday 15th October at 9 am. This will be based on how to support your child with times tables and will be a chance for parents to get involved in some of our various activities!

Autumn 1 Week Beginning 23rd September

This week we started our guitar lessons! The children were taught how to sit and hold a guitar the correct way and were then introduced to some of the Beatles music where they were asked to play along!

Autumn 1 Week Beginning 16th September

We have started our week off in style with a Silent Disco! The children (and adults) loved it! It was wonderful to see the children happily dancing and singing together.

Autumn 1 Week Beginning 9th September

This week in year 4 we have been exploring their new science topic 'Flashes and Bangs.' The children have learnt how to build a simple circuit using, wires, bulbs and batteries. They used a variety of  creative habits such as being 'persistent' and 'collaborating' in order to work successfully in groups to get the light bulb to light up! 

 Autumn 1 Week Beginning 2nd September

 We have had a wonderful start to the new academic year in class 9 and 10. This week we have been learning about all of the things that 'We can be.' The children thought about what they would like to achieve or become in the future and created their own dream catchers using sticks that they foraged from the school grounds and colourful wool.
