1M learnt about the causes of the fire of London by fixing the puzzle. Then we discussed the time frames of when and how and who were caused the fire. #LovePlover

Marvellous Museum Visit
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.

Learning about London in the past
In expedition we were historians and learnt about how we know what things were like in the past by watching videos and looking at pictures. We noticed the photos were old because they were black and white, had wooden houses on and people wore old clothes riding on horse and carts. #LovePlover
London’s Burning!
To help bring our hook week to a close, we have set fire to our model of Pudding Lane. We had to try and put out the fire and dig in a fire break before the fire reached the King’s house. We had great fun watching it burn, whilst singing ‘London’s Burning’. Thank you to Mr Meade for being Fire Fighter in Chief!

Wonderful Roman Workshop
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.

Immersing Our 1M Expedition Wall
Look at the children’s beautiful art work for our Great Fire of London backdrop! Then this afternoon, we created our box models from Pudding Lane for our mini Fire of London on Friday. #LovePlover
Space Workshop
As part of our learning about Mae Jemison, we had Jenny visit us from Alfresco Learning. We worked in mini crews to make and launch space rockets. We used plastic bottles for the rockets, water for the fuel and pumped air in to them to launch them. We listened carefully to the instructions and safety rules so we could have lots of fun learning! We had a great game of space tig and then made constellations. What a fun morning!
Aircraft museum visit
We were very proud of all of our children visiting the museum this week.
We had a wonderful time and learned lots.
The history of space travel!
In pairs, we made a poster for a date and event in the history of space travel. We then put them in chronological order to make a timeline in our classroom. We used this information to write about what we know about the changes in space travel and why those changes are important to us now. Some beautiful work from 1B today! #loveplover
