Today for expedition, 4B have been researching about aspects of Roman life to produce a poster which they will be presenting to the class tomorrow. Well done everyone for working so hard and I can’t wait to see your presentations.
We are delighted to announce that Activ8 are going to hold a fun filled half term camp at Plover for the children of Plover in KS1/KS2 – it will run every day W/C 16th October 9am-3pm.
Booking on will be a first come, first serve basis and maximum of 30 children per day, at a discounted of £10 a child.
There are times when I wish I had recorded a lesson. Today was definitely one of those times. I’ve never seen so many over dramatic children posing as Roman soldiers in a variety of situations. When they ‘came to life’ as I touched their heads, some of their comments were absolutely priceless:
“Are we nearly there yet?” “Outta the way I’m gonna be sick!” “Hold on for your life, there’s another wave coming!”
“How cold is this water?!” “No one said about this before we set off.” “So…cold…so…far…”
“Where on Earth am I?” “What is that supposed to be?” “Why is it so wet and so cold?”
“Claudius ordered us to build a settlement but I’m too tired. I must sleep!” “Sleep now, build later.”
“Oof, urgh, hmpf!” “I don’t know how many more bricks I can pass you!” “How heavy!” “OW!”
“Let’s be ‘avin yaaaaaaaa!” “CELTS COMING!” “Who are ya?” “Attack!” “Incoming!”
I honestly don’t know where they get it from! Well done 4H now to transfer those actions and words into writing! You’ve got this, folks!
Look who’s come to stay! We are so incredibly excited and proud that our class have been chosen to look after our school Guinea pigs – not surprisingly, they have won all of our hearts already! Say hello to Nibbles…
Queenie was feeling too shy to come out to play but today, she seemed more settled. We will introduce her to you all tomorrow.
After completing our first challenge of the lesson: ‘Am I Roman or Celtic?’, we checked in with someone else from another table and chatted through our answers together. Some of us felt a little strange: suddenly getting up and moving elsewhere in the room but the movement improved the quality of the conversation between everyone and their was more of a ‘buzz’ about the learning. Well done guys – I know it feels strange talking to someone different but you were all incredible! AGAIN!
What a busy week last week was! 4H worked so hard and made some great learning choices too! Let’s keep it going 4H and work together to produce even more beautiful work this week! You never know, we may even be able to make Mrs Ogle squeal with delight again! Just remember how good you felt when she rewarded you all…
In We Care Wednesday Crew sessions, we have been thinking about our families and what it is that makes each family so special. We’ve thought about the similarities between our families and what can be different too. Tomorrow we will think carefully about how family members can help each other. Our crew is like our own little Plover family and the more we get to know each other, the more we can support each other when we face challenges. You’re awesome, Crew Haycock!
As historians, we were gathering facts…we had to use the information we were given to find out how Rome grew from a normal city into an almighty empire! I wonder if your children can tell you more about why and how the Romans became such a powerful force?
Today, 4B have been role playing as a Roman legionary invading Britannia. Well done to everyone for participating and sharing some great ideas. This will help lots with generating ideas for our final write this week.
