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!

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.

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!

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.

Tomorrow is LKS2 family learning for year 3 and 4 which will start at 1:30 and finish at around 3. Family members are to sign in at the office and will join the children in completing different activities set up across the four classrooms. Also if you could bring in any spare cardboard to use to make Roman shields, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Year 3&4 team

Year 3 had so much fun this morning learning how to correctly hold a hockey stick and practice controlling the ball. What a great way to spend the morning in the sun!
