Online Learning

By Mrs Graves20th October 2020

Please note that if you have to self-isolate at home for any reason, you can access your learning online through Google classroom. We shall put copies of the learning slides and tasks online, so that you can still take part in what we are doing in school. I know this might be a bit tricky at times without your teacher to help you but there are still plenty of other things you can do:

1) www.myon.co.uk – an online library of digital books. Select books at the right reading level and quiz on them on Accelerated Reader. Logon using the same username and password as Accelerated Reader.

2) Accelerated Reader –  quiz on the books you have read. Follow the link from the bar at the top of the school website after you have logged in.

3) Times tables Rockstars – practice your times tables

4) www.corbettmaths.co.uk – primary 5 a day! Find today’s date and have a go at the maths questions on the bronze level.

5) BBC bite size – find the super movers videos and practise times tables or research about the romans.

6) www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk to research the Romans in Britain. – click the romans link

Any questions, please contact school and we will get back to you.

Roman houses

By Miss Lotysz19th October 2020

Today 4L have been looking at Roman houses and comparing the houses Roman’s used to live in to houses today.

Rockin’ Roman Roads

15th October 2020Mrs Graves

We have had a great day in 4G today, learning about Roman Roads.

In English, we improved our Speech and Language skills by practising and performing a Roman Top Gear sketch.

This afternoon, in Expedition, we were historians, learning how the Romans built their roads. We then had a go ourselves, building our own roads out of biscuits, chocolates and custard! It really was a rocky road of a lesson!

 

 

Roman Roads!

By Miss Topliss15th October 2020

What a fun afternoon exploring how the Romans made their roads. Don’t worry, the children weren’t outside digging but using custard, biscuit, smarties and malteasers instead! We really enjoyed ourselves today and I am so impressed with how organised and tidy the children were during what could have been a very messy activity! I was also so grateful to the children who took time to thank me for getting the ingredients ready for the lesson – a superb example of ‘be kind’.

Boudica!

By Miss Lotysz8th October 2020

We have enjoyed investigating difference sources of evidence to find out more about Boudica, to create a poster about her.

We had to decide which sources of evidence were useful and which weren’t.

Math-a-magicians!

By Miss Topliss8th October 2020

Today I have been really impressed to see 3T’s brilliant Maths work. The children have been working on addition with regrouping. This would look something like this.

25 + 37 =

20 + 30 = 50

5 + 7 = 12

(We would then partition 12 into 10 and 2)

50+ 10 = 60

60 + 2 = 62

I was absolutely bursting with pride to see the presentation of work in books, the collaborative efforts of the children and the peer coaching so that every child could achieve gold standard work today! Well done 3T – keep up the great work. I bet there were lots of 4’s at home time in your ‘work hard’ strand of the HOWLs today!

Powerful Poetry

By Mrs Graves7th October 2020

I’m so proud of the Roman Soldier poetry that has been written in 4G today.

We spent some time looking at images and sound of Roman Soldiers marching in formation and sharing a poem to give us some understanding of what it must have felt like to be a Roman soldier. We worked together to brainstorm ideas using our five senses and then we worked independently to write our own poem.
I have been so impressed at the effort and poetry after just one lesson.
Well done!

Well done Luke

By Miss Topliss27th September 2020

Well done Luke, our Pride of Plover winner in 3T.

Luke has received his award for making an improved effort to talk in class and join in with his peers. He is chatting more to the adults in school and has also talked to visitors. Luke is enjoying helping everyone sign in Crew time too. Keep up the super work Luke, we are so proud of you!

Hook Week

By Miss Topliss27th September 2020

We had a wonderful hook week here in 3T.

The children took part in a range of activities which were so much fun! These included;

Discovery dig on the school field 

Making Roman numerals

Assembling a Roman soldier

Making and decorating shields 

Reading ‘The Captive Celt’

Archaeological dig 

Dressing up as Romans or Celts 

Watching Horrible Histories The Movie  

Roman food tasting

It has been wonderful to hear so many of our parents and carers telling us how engaged the children are, wanting to find things out at home and telling them what happened during the day. Keep it up 3T! I hope you enjoy our hook week pictures!
