Year 4 stepped back in time to experience life in ancient Rome during their exciting Roman Day with Marcus! The day began with a fascinating exploration of Roman military life, where the children learned about the disciplined marches and intricate formations that made the Roman army so formidable. They even had the chance to practice some of these strategies themselves!
The morning was filled with laughter and friendly competition as the children played traditional Roman games like Ludus and Delta, giving them a glimpse into how Romans entertained themselves. The quiz that followed tested their growing knowledge of Roman history and culture, with everyone eager to showcase their learning.
The afternoon brought the thrill of the Colosseum to life as the children participated in a dramatic gladiator battle, complete with roars of the crowd and cheers of triumph. It was a truly unforgettable day, bringing history to life in the most engaging way! Take a look below at some of our photos!

The children in Year 4 have been very excited to share the most recent artwork completed using our new pointillism technique to mimic the character Vashti from the Dot!
We hope that you have all had a fantastic summer and are ready for the new school year.
Year 4 has lots of exciting projects and experiences to get involved with! We can't wait to get started!
We will start the year off with a mini transition project called "The Dot" and this is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds.
Our first full project "Land of Fire and Ice" will immerse the children in the magical wonders that Iceland has to offer. We will be kickstarting this Project with our very exciting volcanoes VR experience!
The staff team have been in the classrooms over the summer and the rooms are all ready for your return on the 2nd of September. We will meet on the top playground on Tuesday at 8:45am ready to go into our new classroom together. At home-time, we will exit through the classroom doors onto the bottom playground (MUGA) from 3:20pm.
We will upload some photographs as we get started so be sure to look back again in the coming weeks!
