We are dramaticā€¦no really, we actually are!

There are times when I wish I had recorded a lesson. Today was definitely one of those times. Iā€™ve never seen so many over dramatic children posing as Roman soldiers in a variety of situations. When they ā€˜came to lifeā€™ as I touched their heads, some of their comments were absolutely priceless:

ā€œAre we nearly there yet?ā€ ā€œOutta the way Iā€™m gonna be sick!ā€ ā€œHold on for your life, thereā€™s another wave coming!ā€

ā€œHow cold is this water?!ā€ ā€œNo one said about this before we set off.ā€ ā€œSoā€¦coldā€¦soā€¦farā€¦ā€

ā€œWhere on Earth am I?ā€ ā€œWhat is that supposed to be?ā€ ā€œWhy is it so wet and so cold?ā€

ā€œClaudius ordered us to build a settlement but Iā€™m too tired. I must sleep!ā€ ā€œSleep now, build later.ā€

ā€œOof, urgh, hmpf!ā€ ā€œI donā€™t know how many more bricks I can pass you!ā€ ā€œHow heavy!ā€ ā€œOW!ā€

ā€œLetā€™s be ā€˜avin yaaaaaaaa!ā€ ā€œCELTS COMING!ā€ ā€œWho are ya?ā€ ā€œAttack!ā€ ā€œIncoming!ā€

I honestly donā€™t know where they get it from! Well done 4H now to transfer those actions and words into writing! Youā€™ve got this, folks!

We are up and aboutā€¦

After completing our first challenge of the lesson: ā€˜Am I Roman or Celtic?ā€™, 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 ā€˜buzzā€™ about the learning. Well done guys – I know it feels strange talking to someone different but you were all incredible! AGAIN!

Last week in 4Hā€¦We were historians!

As historians, we were gathering factsā€¦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?

We are historians and architects!

1M looked at how the architect Christopher Wren designed the streets of London after the Fire of London. We designed a modern and safer London with some fantastic building ideas. #LovePlover

Beautiful Work in 1M

Lacey-Mae, Alex, Siyar and Flynn have taken great pride in their English and then Expedition work – producing some beautiful handwriting! #LovePlover

Kahoot Quiz in Expedition

Continuing our expedition knowledge about The Great Fire of London, the children loved the competitive quiz we did in our history lesson, using Samuel Pepys diaries to find the answers.

Well done to Oliver, Peyton and Alex who were our medalists 10crew coins! #LovePlover
