Lots of learning in P3/2

Last week was extremely exciting and busy in P3/2….

We are learning lots about The Radical Romans-we watched a short film about Julius Caesar and learned he had his own army who invaded Britain twice but didn’t build a fort there.

We found out that everyone wore togas. The emperor’s toga was purple !  Leather sandals were worn too even by the soldiers ! You could tell in the towns how important people were by their toga !

We also found out about chariot racing. It was held in a huge stadium where people all went. Before the racing began clowns and acrobats performed. It was a fun day out.

As well as all our Roman work we are delighted to announce Emma Wherrett was our Pupil of the week for her amazing Julius Caesar art and  Ben Marr was our class winner for the Scots Poetry competition. Our star writers were Alfie Garvey, Robert Brand and David Starrs. Well done !

What a great week in school but what weather outside !

This week we have been working so hard learning our Scots poems whilst outside there have been gales and snow as well as sunshine…typical Scottish weather !

Well done everyone for practising the poems and being able to recite in front of a quality class audience.

Our class winners were Suvi, Alfie, Ava, Ben and Sophie…Congratulations all of you for working so hard on your actions and your Scots words.

The three children chosen to represent the class at Monday’s recital are:-

Suvi for The Furry Hat By Lydia Robb

and

Ben and Ava for The Sair Finger By Walter Wingate…Good luck !

We started our new topic this week also…The Radical Romans. There is so much for us to learn about. We started with Romulus and Remus and also the Roman Army….we started making posters about being a Roman soldier.

Did you know you had to be able to march 2o miles a day carrying all your weapons aswell as wearing your armour ?

Enjoy your weekend 🙂
