Spelling rule: Use of the 'ou' sound

Well done to all those children who took part in the violin assembly. You have got some real talent!

This week we have been looking at how to make different nets for 3D shapes. We used polydrons, then had a go at making our own out of paper. We had to remember to be really accurate with our drawing and folding.

We had a great time learning more about the Romans. We made shields, clay oil lamps, learned the army formations, invaded the school and had a visit from a Roman museum. Thank you to all the parents for coming in to help and providing your children with super costumes!

As part of our Roman topic, we have been learning about Roman towns. In DT we learned how to make two bits of cardboard stick together. We applied our skills to our Roman buildings. We made temples, Roman baths, villas and amphitheatres.

It's that time of year again, time to be running around outside with a map and a compass! The children are developing their orienteering skills - learning how to orientate a map, find North and work out where they're meant to be going.

With all the beautiful weather at the moment, it seems a shame to be doing maths indoors! The children were tasked with making 2D shapes using whatever they could find outside. They then had to measure the sides and work out the perimeter.
