In today’s experience lesson we visited a hospital – it was really dirty with blood, sick and dirt. It wasn’t very nice or friendly. We decided we would not want to be looked after there.

Roman Writers
We have worked extremely hard to complete our first piece of independent writing about the Romans. We have learned all about how to be a Roman soldier and chunked our writing so that we could explain this in a non-chronological report. We worked hard to edit and improve our work, focusing on ensuring our capital letters and full stops were in the right places, as well as fixing our spellings. Some of us even used conjunctions and extended our sentences. Once we were fully happy, we completed a redraft for our plot points and wrote them out into an entire paragraph.
Writing Experience
Today, we have started to look at our new unit of writing which will be a diary of a Roman soldier. We will have precious learning to pull from as well as a video stimulus.
We watched the video and discussed the daily routine of a soldier. Children were then asked to plan a light meal for the camp if they were on duty that morning. We had suggestions such as cornflakes, porridge, fry up and pancakes. We discussed the likelihood of these and decided it would have most likely been meat, bread and cheese.
Then we took part in early morning march so we could hear announcements and be issued their job role for the day. We’ll need a bit of work on being able to march in unison. 😂
Finally, they were issued with jobs and then discussed what this job would entail and whether they’d be happy to do it. No surprise the children who would have been cleaning the latrines said they wouldn’t want that job.
Next lesson, we’ll use the feelings, checking, action and imaging lenses to chot some ideas which will support our writing.
Mathmagians!
Crew Hamill have worked their magic with their maths over the last few lessons. We began by adding two two-digit numbers and moved on to adding two three-digit numbers, some of which involved exchanging into the 10s and 100s columns!

Crew MW’s Library Visit 📚💕
On Friday, we celebrated Libraries Week by taking a trip to our school library. We each picked out a book and we showed it to the other members of our crew. We then decided which book we wanted to read in the library, chilling on the bean bags and cushions, as well as choosing a book to take back to the classroom with us. We absolutely LOVE going to the library! 📚
KS2 AP(Coding)
Today we looked at coding. When one of them found it challenging their other crew members helped them out. This was lovely to see them working part of a crew. Well done guys
PE
This week in PE we have been working on our fitness. There were four stations for the children to work in and they had a minute in each one. Lots of sweaty and exhausted children by the end of it.
Reading in the library
This afternoon we took some time to go to the library to change our books but also to use our beautiful space to read. Nothing better then enjoying a snack while reading a good book.
Multicultural week – Italian
During this weeks multicultural focus we have had a go at speaking Italian. We shared our feelings on Italian and then used a video to help us say foods. I have to say I was rather impressed with some of their pronunciation.
