What a fantastic start to year 3 and the beginning of our Roman expedition. We had an epic day at Murton Park, from seeing the Roman villages to becoming Roman soldiers. Our adventures included learning how to hold a shield and spear, how to fight and use a sword, how to throw and use a javelin, how to write in Latin and lastly how to make an oil lamp out of clay. It was incredible to immerse ourselves into Roman life and have this experience!
As today is National Read A Book Day, Year 3 spent their crew sessions this morning sharing a story. Each crew had a book that they enjoyed reading together with their teachers.
Yesterday afternoon Y5 and 6 had an expert visit. He spoke to us about his current job working in modern mines and a brief history of mines. The students then had lots of questions for him to answer and it was great to see how engaged the students were.
Over the past two weeks, teams from years 3&4 and 5&6 have ventured to Campsmount to take part in Leger Sport basketball competitions. As always, the events were well organised and highly competitive with our children representing the school proudly. Whilst both teams achieved third, their team spirit, resilience (against incredibly tall opponents) and togetherness was inspiring. Well done to both teams!
