A Roman’s Daily Life!

12th October 2023Laura Hamill

During our experience lesson, we had the opportunity to delve further into the daily life of a Roman soldier.

Crew Hamill and Crew Thompson came together to create a larger army unit and we used our role play skills to act out the main duties of a Roman soldier – a morning parade, a smaller march in mini crews to see who could march in unison the best and we split into groups to role play the individual Roman duties such as cleaning the latrines and guard duty! Can you guess from our pictures who was in charge of cleaning the latrines?!

What a fantastic last football PE lesson we have had today. We have been able to put all our skills into practice and play some tournaments. It was great to see the children so involved with their learning and watch them try to implement their skills. We definitely have some football superstars in Crew Thompson.

In Expedition this afternoon, we discovered the 4 types of Roman houses. We found out they were roundhouse/huts, villas, insulea and Domus. Then, we looked at what each house was made out of. It ranged from mud and straw to marble and mosaic tiles. We discussed where we might find these types of houses and why some were used in the cities and others in the countryside.

Setting description writing in MI

11th October 2023Stacey McClare

Yesterday we used all the chotting we created in our experience day on Monday to write our setting description on Thneedville, the town in the Lorax. We also learnt all about similes on Monday so we enjoyed applying our knowledge to our setting descriptions. We also applied everything we have been working on over the last few weeks, descriptive language and expanded noun phrases, conjunctions and some adverbials.
