An update on the half term

Date: 25th Jan 2015 @ 5:26pm

Just to give parents a quick update on what we have been doing in Year 3 since the New Year.

As you are aware we have started our new topic of the Romans! The children have loved this historic topic so far, as they did with the Ancient Egyptians. We started to explore the Geography of the Roman Empire and studied how the army was an important part of the empire. The children created some wonderful army recruitment posters, but I'm not sure many of them were convinced with the 26 mile runs every month! 

Over the last few weeks we have been designing and making our own mosaics. I hope to place some pictures of the completed mosaics in the gallery section of our class page in the coming weeks.

Furthermore, we have been reading a Roman mystery novel and this week the children will write their own Roman mystery scroll. 

In PE the children have loved Gymnastics over the last 3 weeks. We had two weeks focussing on different jumps and last week we looked at perfecting the forwards and backwards rolls. Again I hope to place some pictures in our gallery soon.

Finally, I am really excited about our trip to the Grosvenor museum in Chester tomorrow and I have no doubt your children will tell you all about it on their return. Once more I will post some pictures and videos of the children in the gallery section of the class page on our return. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog and please keep looking on the class page of the website for further updates.
