Romans Romans Romans!

We started our new English sequence this week 'Escape from Pompeii' by Christina Balit, we had fun looking at Roman artefacts and then exploring the front cover of the book and noticing what we see, why it might be there and what we wander about it. E.g. There is a boat with a vase and cloth in it, they might be there as the people have collected their special items as they ran away from the volcano, I wander if they get to safety?

In Art, Mrs White showed the class the Colosseum, and they then set to and made their own from clay using tools and their designs. Absolutely brilliant.  The class have expressed an interest in having a Roman themed day to finish the topic off, this will be in the week before half term. More info to follow.

Have a super weekend, 
Miss Chalcraft, Mrs Graham and Mrs White
