4TE were very busy today demonstrating all of their knowledge of the Roman Army! Alongside the knowledge they already held, the children had to create an anchor chart which would show all of the new information about the Roman army which they had learnt today. What came as a result of this, was numerous amounts of fantastic, informative and visually eye-catching pieces of work. Some children even chose to stay in at break time to work on their anchor charts instead of going out! A brilliant time was had by all.

Chance To Dance
This year, Y3 are working with the Royal Opera House on the Chance To Dance programme. Through this programme the children will be working on the Royal Ballet Alice in Wonderland. This week the children came up with 8 beat movements that they thought expressed the different characters from the ballet. The children used their imagination to transform into the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and Alice. They thought about how all the different would act and used this to put together small routines in the style of the Alice ballet.
