Today we used our oracy skills to persuade the class that we agreed or disagreed with a given statement using a word bank of persuasive language. There were some very convincing arguments-well done!

Year 6 have been searching for a pattern regarding reflection of light. They experimented with letter formation,  mirror writing and thoroughly enjoyed making a periscope to see around corners. 

Ruby Bridges loved school. In 1960 she was excited to go to first grade in New Orleans, Louisiana. But many people did not want her to go to her school. They wanted only white children to go there, and Ruby is Black. Ruby did not let that stop her.

This week certificates have been awarded for great work in Maths and PE. Congratulations to our Good to be Green Awards winners. Thank you for following our school values. 

Well done to all of these fabulous children who won awards in assembly today.

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!
