We all had such a fabulous final week of the half term! 

We started the week by taking part in a Roman workshop led by master storyteller Matthew Bellwood. We acted out different Roman scenes from battling in the amphitheatres to then taking a walk down a Roman high street. The experience really helped consolidate a lot of our previous learning as well as teaching us so many intriguing facts. We also finished our Celtic or Roman shields by adding detailing using chalk pens. 

On Friday, we undertook a science experiment to end our digestive system topic. We used a fork to imitate our teeth and mashed up some banana and bread adding some water (saliva) to make it easier. We then discussed that the food would move down the oesophagus and into the stomach. We simulated this part by putting our mushed up food into a clear plastic wallet (stomach) and adding vinegar to demonstrate the acid that helps break our food down. 

Our TTrockstar of the week is Mollie and our Lexia legend is Ayra. Book club this week was hosted by Barney and Fatima. They chose ‘Matilda’ by Roald Dahl and ‘I lost my Granny in the Supermarket’ by Jo Simmons.
