During case study one LKS2 have been learning about the the origins of the Roman Empire and how they changed Britain.
Today the children completed their case study reflection using Padlet. They worked in small groups to answer questions and I was really impressed with how much they could recall from the past few weeks. Please scan the QR code to see their work.
Today, Crew McLoughlin took on a fun and creative crew challenge! Each table was tasked with drawing a house – but there was a twist. The pen was tied to several pieces of string, and the only way to guide it was by working together, holding and pulling the strings. No one was allowed to touch the pen directly!
The challenge sparked plenty of laughter, teamwork, and problem-solving as everyone figured out how to control the pen and bring their house drawings to life.
In computing this week, we have started to think about possible inventions we could make. We revisited the technology safari that we did last week to remind ourselves of all the different things we see daily that have a computer in them.
We looked at a rocket powered chair and started to think about some questions we would like to ask about it. Miss Shields helped to rephrase some of the words to ensure it was phrased as a question.
Before we create our own inventions, we watched Dr Binocs who told us about technology inventions that changed our lives. This was to support children with starting to generate ideas about what their invention could be before they design their own in the next session.
Crew Ramsay have been creating Dennis Creffield inspired, mixed media artwork to showcase our Great Fire Of London learning! We started with charcoal and layered this with tissue paper. We have been learning about colour and mood and used this in our art project. Look how proud we are of our final pieces!
Children in Crew Godley took on an exciting Crew Challenge – to work together and build the tallest free-standing tower that could hold an object for 10 seconds! Using teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, every crew rose to the challenge. The results were fantastic, with towers of all shapes and sizes showing just how much we can achieve when we collaborate and show determination.
During this week the children have began the next stage for their final products. We learnt how to mix colors creating the desired effect for our skin tones, so they are ready for the next step using shapes to create our facial features. We are so excited to see how these portraits will look within our banner.
Today were learnt that Romans didn’t just believe in one God like Christians do but they believed in many Gods and Goddesses. This is called polytheism.
We started by taking part in a gallery walk to find out the names and roles of lots of different Roman Gods. We then discussed the different festivals and how they link to Roman festivals.
I loved seeing the drawings the children produced too!
We worked together to sort out what it was like to be a Roman child and if they had things children have today. Each statement we read together and then decided if it belonged on Roman children, children today or both.
Year 5/6 have been learning about the different denominations that have evolved from Christianity over the years. Although, they have the same Jewish core beliefs, they worship God in slightly different ways based on their leaders interpretations of the bible.
At the end of the lesson, we revisited the story of Creation and about Adam and Eve as children were unfamiliar with this bible story and how Christian’s believe the world was created.
