Great job from all our award winners this week. 

Year 3 have been putting together different components in their dance lessons. They have a whole class sequence, partner and group dances which we put together into a routine this week.

Year 4 loved their trip to the Grosvenor Museum in Chester!

Their day started with meeting a Roman Centurion and marching to the amphitheatre chanting "Sin, sin, sun, dex, sin!", repeatedly. When we arrived at the amphitheatre, we worked together to make different attacking and defending battle formations and tried to get into position in 2 seconds. 

After, we returned to the museum to look around and also took part in a Roman workshop. One pupil was lucky enough to be dressed up in the Roman soldier armour and helmet! 

As part of our History and English lessons, we did a Roman invasion re-enactment on the school playground. We practised marching carrying our rucksacks (heavy weapons that weigh 20kg) chanting "Dex, Sin!", just like the Romans did. We also tried to make different battle formations and took it in turn to be the Centurion leading drills for our century. Finally, we invaded a Celtic village where we learnt the importance of working together. 

We used this activity to help us to write diary entries as Roman soldiers - just wait until you see the finished products!

This afternoon, Year 4 took part in a live lesson on 'Tech in space' where they learnt lots about how technology is used in space and how it has advanced over the years. They also learnt about possible careers in technology and linked to space. 

Year 6 used the IPads today to help inspire them to design their final Cauliflower Card in Broadbent Fold Primary School. We hope you purchase these for Christmas. 

We have been studying Lindsey Stirling in music, specifically her musical piece named Shadows. Year 6 are creating their own Shadow Theatres to create a musical story using shadow puppets. This also links in with D&T and Science! 

Reading is an important life skill so in Year 6 we are promoting the love and enjoyment of reading a good book. We are lucky to have a visitor who reads with Year 6 on Mondays and additional reading happens throughout the week with Mrs Gao and Mrs Higham. The children are presently thinking of creative ideas to spruce up our reading corner. I will  keep you posted with photographs when it's complete.  

Year 6 practised their Indian dribbling skills today, ensuring they were moving the hockey stick to move the ball in and around and  through the cones. This skills became handy when the children got into small groups and had to move the ball away from the opposition. Great work Y6. 

John from Front Row Music came in to school today for an assembly. The children were amazed at how simple it was play the guitar and were shown how to play chords, melodies and sang along to many songs. If you're interested in taking ukukele or guitar lessons with Drew on Fridays, please ask at the school office for details.
