Case study 1 reflection 🌍🛡️
Today we completed a kahoot quiz to really test how much we have learnt during case study 1. It was great to see the kids really engaged in their learning and remembering what they have learnt. Our top 3 children were 3 – Shelby, 2 – Charlie and 1 – Lydia. Well done guys! 🎉👏🏻
Roman Towns – What were they and why?
In our expedition lessons this week, we have found out lots of information about Roman towns. We focussed on six Roman towns in England: Londinium, Eboracum, Viriconium, Isca Augusta, Deva, Aquae Sulius. We used a map to help us locate where the Romans settled in the United Kingdom and then identified the main uses for these towns.
Basic Training – Roman Style!
To help us with our plot point in writing, Crew Hamill became Roman Soldiers for the morning. We went outside and took part in all the activities Roman soldiers have to do when they first join the army. Their basic training last for a whole four months – we were tired after just doing it for half an hour! We did a route march, some weapon training, battle drills and a keep fit class.

Using charcoal!
After already doing 3 drafts of our Dennis Creffield drawing of our school, today we did our 4th practice to improve on our artwork. We did this by reflecting and critiquing our previous artwork and how we could improve it.
Tag Rugby 🏉
In active fusion we have been learning about the sport tag rugby. We learnt many techniques of how to throw and catch the ball. We found out that if you throw the ball forward it would be a fowl throw. Then we practiced the scissor technique until we got the hang of it. We cannot wait for the tournament that is coming up to see who will get chosen. Here are the stars of the lesson, well done girls!

Edit and redraft in MI
Wow, wow, wow! Crew MI have blown me away today in our writing lesson. Today we edited and redrafted two sections of our narrative. I am so proud of what we have achieved today and I can’t wait for our next lesson. We have really got smart by reflecting on our achievements and challenging ourselves to improve.
Why did the Romans come to Doncaster?
In our expedition lesson this afternoon, we explored why the Romans came to Doncaster. The Romans came to Doncaster in the AD50’s because of the River Don and the community already living there. We discovered that during the Roman times Doncaster was famous for pottery kilns but is now famous for trains like the Flying Scotsman. We created some lovely posters to show our learning!
