For todays expedition we have looked at different sources to find information about life in Roman Doncaster. We then compared differences and similarities between Roman Doncaster and modern Doncaster.

Remarkable Roman Research
3GS worked really hard at the start of the week, researching aspects of Roman life. They had to use different sources to find out more about Roman roads, houses, clothing and towns.
After they completed the research, they produced posters and presented their findings to the rest of the class, so everyone could learn what they had learnt.

What is Racism?
This afternoon we were talking about racism, as part of our Rosa Parks case study. We discussed that everyone has similarities and differences – but we are all beautiful humans!
We recognised that racism is being unkind to people because of their skin colour, accent, religion – which is not okay!
Then we looked at some different case studies and talked about if they had thought it was racist or not.
How has the mining industry shaped our community?
So proud of our Current year 6’s (and 7’s!) who engaged in the mining Expediton last year. They worked so hard and showed great activism by raising money for Markham main mining memorial. Please do take a look at their learning journey!!

We are dramatic…no really, we actually are!
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!

We are up and about…
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!

Last week in 4H…We were historians!
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?
