This week we have be learning all about the Romans and their life changing inventions!

In our history lesson this week we were learning all about two key Roman inventions: roads and aqueducts. We learnt about how they were made and how the invention made life easier for the Romans. We presented our learning onto eye-catching posters, ensuring we included key information and colourful picture.

In our reading lessons this week we have continued to read more of our class book 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret' we thought about the importance of some of the main characters and how significant they were to the story. We even practiced our sketching skills and sketching pictures based on the book so far!

During our Tuesday - Thursday reading lessons we read about the Romans. We read some non-fiction informally texts about how Rome was founded, and the weapons and armour Roman soldiers used. We also read an old folk song about Boudicca. We discussed the language choices and what the message of the song was. 

In PSHE this week we were learning all about being a school citizen. We thought about different people in the school who help us learn. We identified a few key jobs in the school, such as, teachers, cleaners and headteachers. We played charades to see who could identify the key job that was being mimed. 

Then, in groups, we thought about the 3 most important jobs that person does in order to help us learn. We thought about how we could order the job roles into a level of importance, however, we decided that all the people in our school community are equally important, and all help us learn!

This week we were very lucky to have been able to join a LIVE art seminar! We watched the artist John Dyer sketch a white rhino in the Savannah. We used our sketching pencils to follow along with him and we added colour to make our drawings stand out even more. Some of the artwork that we produced was incredible!
