We have been learning about Roman soldiers and armour. We recycled our old cereal boxes to create Roman shields with acrylic paint. We created our own unique designs using silver and yellow paper!

Relay Racing!
We have been learning to work as part of a team whilst doing relay races! We have been trying to control objects on a racquet without dropping it and are learning to follow the rules of the games we have created!
Tiling 2D Shapes
We have been learning to identify 2D shapes that tile!
We created lots of tiling patterns using different combinations of 2D shapes. We also used the Chromebooks to tile shapes digitally! We tried our best to make sure our patterns had no gaps.
Roman Mosaics
We have been learning about Roman mosaics. We moulded clay into different shapes and used coloured beads to create a colourful tile, just like some Romans had in their homes!
Singing In The Rain
We loved creating our ‘Singing In The Rain’ artwork. We used oil pastels to create the effects of puddles and rain. We then painted over the oil pastels and made our paint very watery to create a rainy day effect. We also used the oil pastels to draw our own umbrella and rainbow!
Solo Talks
Since returning to school, we have heard a solo talk each day. We have been great at practising our speaker voices and also learning how to be a great audience! We all chose to speak about different topics which were special to us and we all learned so much more about each other!
Alexander Graham Bell
We were learning about Alexander Graham Bell who invented the first ever telephone. We learned about the liquid telephone and made our own cup and string telephone! We were able to hear our partner through the cup when the string was nice and straight. We learned that it was the sound vibrations which helped us to hear our partner.
We spoke about how much phones have developed over the years and how different the first liquid telephone is to the Iphone!
Spin and Add
Some of us have been enjoying our spin and add game! We have to spin the wheels to pick two numbers then write out the calculation. Great work here Connor!
Addition
We have been very busy with our number work this week. We have been using cubes and counters to deepen our understanding of numbers, their place and their value. We practised using the cubes to make a calculation before writing it out. Some of us have been working on addition with carrying. Using the cubes has helped us to see that we can exchange 10 units for 1 ten when doing our calculations!
Halves and Quarters
We have been learning about halves and quarters. We really enjoyed learning how we could share our counters with two or four people, making sure that we all got the same amount!
