Arrrrggghhhh! The Rotten Romans are in Year 4!

The Rotten Romans have landed!!!!!!! We were dramatically invaded yesterday morning and arrived to find a Roman Emperor and his loyal Roman subjects had ransacked the classroom searching for gold, silver, tin, wood, leather................


After undergoing some tasks set by the fierce Romans we discussed what invasion was, what it felt like and why they invaded? The children, having been thoroughly immersed in their learning about the Celts, were initially angry and very loyal to the Celts. However........................when we began to explore just what the Romans had brought to our country we began to get rather interested. We have embarked on a 3 week collaborative learning project. Each group has been assigned a specific area of the Romans to research, create and present to the class in what ever way they decide. We will be developing a lot of team work skills, using our learning powers and our existing literacy skills.

We also began learning a dance for our dance afternoon which we learned very quickly, requiring a lot of concentration!


Our Roman projects will continue to grow, alongside our learning about Australasia. We will be writing some Australian inspired poetry this week as well as working on our art too.

Thank you to everyone for coming in early this morning for our class and individual photos - I am sure they will be wonderful and a fond reminder of your time at The Prince of Wales!

The children were fantastic at swimming this morning and we are looking forward to showing you just how brilliant in our class swimming gala soon!

Please note: I will be postponing the Jigsaw parent information session that was scheduled for tomorrow morning. It will now be NEXT FRIDAY MORNING at the same time - thank you for your understanding.

If you have any questions, do come in and speak to myself or Mrs. Scott.
