3GS have been getting active in expedition time, moving to the right for Romans and left for Celts. Can you identify which things were introduced to Britain by the Romans?

Harvest Festival
Harvest Festival is next week and we would love to be able to use this as an opportunity to contribute to our Plover Pantry.
Our students ambassadors have been working hard to plan this year’s Harvest festival. They politely request donations of non perishable foods (tins and dried foods) and have set all crews a challenge. The crew who brings in the most donations will win a milkshake and film treat!
Donating means giving back to our community. Something we are really passionate about at Plover so please support us and donate what you can. The deadline for donations is the start of school on Monday 2nd October but we are welcoming donations from today.
Also please remember that our Plover pantry is open to ALL parents. We always have lots of new and exciting stock and we would love to see more parents there. It is open every Wednesday at 2:15pm.
So come on Year 3 and 4 crews, you never know, you might win the film treat.

Place Value in Year 3
Today in year three we have been been learning to read, write and make numbers up to 1,000. We’ve represented numbers with different manipulatives and learnt how important the place value of a number is. Did you know that the digit 9 can represent 9, 90 and even 900?

Another rainy day meant Year 3 had to do their hockey lesson indoors this morning. The children did an amazing job of working in groups to pass their balls to each other. The children are showing great progress each week! Great work Year 3!

Marvellous Museum Visit
3GS had a great day when we visited the Danum Museum and Art Gallery.
The workshop was fantastic, with a really informative introduction that helped us to learn about the Celts that lived in Britain before the Romans came. Then we learnt about what the Romans did for Doncaster. We had the opportunity to try on Celtic and Roman costumes and then we were able to handle genuine Roman artefacts.
In the afternoon we had a look around the museum, particularly at the Roman artefacts on display. We saw the very important Roman shield and a skeleton of a North African woman from the Roman era, found in Doncaster. Then, we chose objects that interested us a made a sketch of them.
Well done everyone.

LKS2 Homelearning
It has been lovely to see some Romans linked home learning being brought into school this week.
I would love to celebrate the great work completed at home in our Community Crew events, so keep bringing your home learning in. Not only do you get rewarded with crew coins, but you may also get a ‘Dip in the Box’ prize.
We love to see all your ideas, but if you want some more, have a look at the suggestions on the second page of the document attached to the blog.
I look forward to seeing what you bring in!

Wonderful Roman Workshop
We have had a great day today learning about the Romans in a variety of hands-on activities.
We have learnt about the armour a Roman soldier would wear and marched like soldiers following commands in Latin; we have written on wax tablets using stylae; we have made our own mosaic designs; we have been historians and held REAL roman artefacts that are nearly 2000 years old and we have worked together to construct Roman aqueducts.
Shout Out to George and Anwyn who completed the Aqueduct challenge all on their own in record time – I certainly couldn’t have done as well as them at building!
We have grappled and had to be resilient at times, but overall we have had a great day!
Many thanks to Claire from Want2be Workshops for making a very memorable day for us all.
