Roman Day - Year 3 & 4

On Thursday, the children in Birch, Sycamore and Willow were greeted by their teachers dressed as Roman Emperors or Gladiators! The day started with maths - Roman style. We made clocks using roman numerals and learnt a great song to help us to count! (You can listen too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1UmAgekzbs)

After break time, we looked at the Roman myth of how Rome came into existence, called 'Romulus and Remus'.

In the afternoon, we took a virtual trip (using Google Earth) around the Colosseum! We learnt about the blood sports that took place there and could see more detail about this important feat of Roman Architecture that is almost 3000 years old!

After that, we made Roman sandals and helped create our class mosaic.

Incredible Italia

All three classes in Year 3 and 4 have taken part in our exciting Design and Technology unit to create a pizza this week.

It really showed how exciting and irresistible our curriculum is.

Our curriculum is shaped around three key words:

  • Appreciate - Children were taught about the historical context of how pizzas became a popular food and the language needed to access the learning (dough, utensils method).

  • Participate - Children researched and evaluated popular pizza toppings and the packaging needed. They thought about the information that might be needed on the packaging as well as thinking of a snappy title!

  • Innovate - They were able to develop their own pizza, designing it as well as the packaging. This week the children have been able to create their own invention that they have seen through from idea to the fully formed product.

These three elements of our curriculum work together to create irresistible learning.

We hope that your child might have let you try a bite - we've heard that they were delicious!

Well done to all of the budding chefs in Birch, Sycamore and Willow!
