Year 3 and 4 - Home Learning - 17th May 2019




YEAR 3 and 4 HOME LEARNING - Friday 17th May 2019



Year 4, you have been brilliant this week! We are so proud of you all and the effort you have put into your GL Assessments. We only have maths left which we will do this week.
This week’s home learning is continuing to focus on our topic about the Romans. We would like the children to design and make a Roman shield that they can bring into school on our Roman Day on Friday, May 24th. We will be practising some Roman soldier drills, including the ‘tortoise’ formation. The children have brought home a template to help them plan their design.
Two good websites that give lots of examples are: www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk https://www.timetrips.co.uk/romsol-shield.htm
Just a reminder about the ‘Roman’ lunch that will be taking place on Friday 24th. We would like to invite you to sign up to bring an item of food for the lunch that day (similar to the Christmas party system). There is a list on display in each classroom. In order to get into the real spirit of living life as a Roman, we would also like to invite the children to dress up in Roman costume.
Please do ask one of the Year 3 or 4 teams if you have any questions or queries.
Thank you for your continued support, Mrs Bishop, Mrs Thorpe, Miss Browne, Mr Dickinson.





Also, remember to keep practising your times tables!

Times Tables Rockstars, Mathletics, AR Reading Quizzes and Purple Mash can all be accessed at home to support your learning in school.

YEAR 3 and 4 HOME LEARNING - Friday 10th May 2019




Dear Parents / Carers,
We have made an exciting start with our learning about the Romans.
This week for the children’s home learning, we would like them to find out more about the types of food that the Romans ate.
Two good websites that they could use are:
We would like them to use the template to put together a menu for a Roman banquet. There should be several different choices for each section.


We would also like to let you know that on Friday 24th May, Year 3 and 4 will be having a shared ‘Roman day’.


We will be joining together to take part in lots of Roman-related activities, including a ‘Roman’ lunch. We would like to invite you to sign up to bring an item of food for the lunch that day (similar to the Christmas Party system). A list will appear in the classroom at the beginning of next week. If your child has a hot lunch, they will still be able to have this, and then join in with the Roman lunch afterwards. Alternatively, you may wish to cancel your child’s hot lunch for that day.


In order to get into the real spirit of living life as a Roman, we would also like to invite the children to dress up in Roman costume. Examples of what the children could wear are available on the websites recommended above. We look forward to an action-packed day!


Please do ask one of the Year 3 or 4 teams if you have any questions or queries.


Thank you for your continued support,


Mrs Bishop, Mrs Thorpe, Miss Browne, Mr Dickinson

Year 4 Home Learning - 3rd May 2019



Welcome back Year 4 to your last term at the Prince of Wales School!
It is lovely to be back and you have been really welcoming to Miss Brown and myself - thank you!


This week's home learning:

  1. Find out some interesting facts about The Romans and write them down as Did you know? questions. For example: Did you know Roman children played with kites, swings and see-saws? Did you know the Romans liked to watch plays in open-air theatres?
  2. Start thinking about what you could wear to dress up like a Roman for our Roman market on Friday 24th May.
  3. Enjoy the long weekend!!! 😊
