Year 3- information about the week and our visit to Rome!

Welcome to Spring 2! 

WOW we have had some outstanding shields in already this week. Thank you to all of the parents that have supported this. Please can we have all of these in by next Friday as we want to use them for some of our learning. 

This week we have started to learn about the Romans. Today the children learnt about how the Romans invaded lots of European countries. We used the VR headsets to visit Rome, the Colosseum  a Roman military camp but also see how the Romans engineered buildings such as a Pantheon and aqueducts. This was a fantastic immersive experience for them and they were really impressed! The other half of the class will get to experience this tomorrow. 

Today Miss Chant, who is a student teacher with us for a week, taught Year 3 about Pancake day and Lent. We then celebrated this learning by eating pancakes! 

On Friday afternoon Year 3 and 4 have an exciting outing up to The Thomas Hardy School. We have been invited to watch a dance performance about plastic pollution. We will have an early lunch and walk to the school and will be back to school by the end of the day.
