Roman Invasion- Year 4

Ready for battle? Year 4’s history topic is: ‘The Romans Empire and its

impact on Britain’. Other than history, children acquire and practice skills in

expressive art and design: making Roman armour and recreate an ‘invasion’

and ‘reaction’ reflecting on the way Boudicca and her Celtic tribe tried to

defend their way of life from a Roman invasion. Using collaboration skills they

have learnt as part of our Commando Joe scheme, here are year 4 designing

their Scutum’s .

Attendance stars

Year 3 Reception

We are proud to announce our 3 top scorers for Time Table

Rock Stars: Erin year 6, Mikiyas year 5 and Daniel year 5.

Well done to everyone who participated.

This term we are focusing on the Value RESPECT.

We are learning about the importance of treating others with

respect even if we sometimes do not agree with the way they

behave or the things they say. We have also been discussing

how we should treat the things that belong to us and to others

respectfully. To support you in your discussions at home, a fact

sheet with activities for our RESPECT value has been emailed to

parents/carers. We hope these leaflets which support our gospel

teachings and reflections can support the discussions about the

value we will be focusing on each term.

Class DOJO’s are awarded when RESPECT for learning and each

other is achieved by all.

Be on time at ten to nine!

Sadly, every class still had late marks

this week – despite the offer of

DOUBLE class Dojo’s for classes who

achieved 100% of the class in school

by 9am when registration CLOSES. We

will be offering DOUBLE Dojo’s again

next week. Lets work together to

improve our punctuality and

attendance.
