In Maths this week Year 3-4 went shopping to learn how to subtract. We used the conservatory to set up a shop.


The children chose items from the shop and bought them with £1, £2, £5 and £10. They then checked their calculations by using money finding the correct change.

Year 3-4 celebrated a Roman Day. The children looked very smart in their costumes

Our first activity was to make a laurel wreath and know why the Romans wore them.

We then made some honey cakes and created mosaics.

Finally, we finished the day celebrating with a feast. We had treats such as figs, honey coated dormice (chicken coated honey), grapes and our homemade honey cakes.

Sonny was chosen as our emperor. He decided when we could eat or not.

A great fun day!

On Tuesday the children continued their investigations into conductors and insulators of electricity.

On Monday the children took part in one of regular drama workshops. The focus was on expression and characterisation based on Greek myths and legends.

Today's science challenge was to try and light the light bulb. After lots of experimenting and perseverance, well done to Jack, Charlie and Harvey for being the first to succeed!

Yesterday the children had a visit from the best selling author Billy Bob Buttons. We explored the language of myths and legends- this will help us with our writing next week.

On Tuesday the children had a great science day. Behind all the fun was lots of learning, including the separation of liquids to make a lava lamp and the reaction of an acid with bi carbonate of soda to make a bubble bomb!
