A big congratulations to all the winners of the games and raffles. A special well done the 4 people that scored 30/30 on my name the santa game. ]]> 2017-12-08 20:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/214650179 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/218487932 Today we started work looking at Roman Britain. To begin with, we looked at where it sat on a timeline of British eras and events ]]> 2018-01-03 14:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/218487932 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/226587213 Today, we have been looking at just how vast the Roman Army actually was. After a lot of research and Maths, we were able to calculate that the number of men stood at around 167,200!!!!! How amazing!!! ]]> 2018-01-31 14:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/226587213 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/227039981 Putting the pieces of a jigsaw map of Britain together is incredibly tricky! Even more so when the words are written in Latin!!!! However, the task enabled us to learn about how the Romans built their roads, what ancient Roman towns were called and allowed us to plot routes from one town to another. ]]> 2018-02-01 14:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/227039981 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/227499498 It’s easy to see from the architecture and the layout of a Roman town just why they were such a successful civilisation! Each element is well thought out. The locations of the shops, the forum, amphitheatre, temples, houses and public baths were all meticulously planned. Every single  place within the town was easily accessible by straight roads. The children have been having fun designing their own Roman town which had to include all of its key features  ]]> 2018-02-02 14:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/227499498 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/229803211 After the half term break, the children will be building their very own Aqueducts. The Romans invented these bridge like structures to carry water into Roman towns. The children will be faced with a very similar challenge! If you have any spare bits of cardboard (wrapping paper tubes, boxes etc) or plastic bottles (drinks, milk etc) they would be much appreciated for our building task. Can we please ask that you don’t send it egg boxes and toilet roles ]]> 2018-02-08 20:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/229803211 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/241912601 Maths week and well and truly begun with the children looking at 2D shapes and their features. Now the children have a good understanding of measure and shape, we have begun the designing phase of our very own model Roman Chariots! Over the next couple of the days, the children will be measuring and cutting the wood they need to create the basic shape of the Roman chariots, they will be learning about triangles and then using them to support the corners of the chariots. The designs are currently looking brilliant!! ]]> 2018-03-14 14:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/241912601 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/247496682 What a fantastic term it has been! The children have worked incredibly hard and progressed with their learning. Our Roman topic has been brilliant and I believe the children have really enjoyed it. I hope you all have a much needed rest and an enjoyable Easter. See you all in a couple of weeks ]]> 2018-03-30 14:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/247496682 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/256200469 The children have really embraced the science based topic these last couple of weeks. The children have learnt how we produce electricity and where it occurs naturally in nature. Making your hair stand on end with a balloon is a really good example of static electricity ]]> 2018-04-28 06:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/256200469 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/257241931 Throughout the morning, the children have taken part in a fantastic workshop all about keeping their teeth healthy. they are now experts in brushing and foods that contain sugar. In addition to this, the pupils will now be checking the quality of the toothpaste they are using, making sure it meets the fluorine levels of 1450 part per million! Enjoy the photos  ]]> 2018-05-02 13:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/257241931 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/258200108 I hope you all enjoy the sunshine over this long weekend. See you all Tuesday! ]]> 2018-05-05 07:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/258200108 mrlowman1 https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/259464479 Ever since our 'Teeth' workshop, the children have been fascinated with teeth and the effect sugar has on them. To that end, we have now set up an investigation looking at the effects of different materials on hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs represent teeth perfectly. They have a hard outer shell and a soft interior. We will be looking at these eggs frequently as they sit in nothing, water, lemonade, coffee and a sugar solution. We will keep you updated with our findings! ]]> 2018-05-09 21:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlowman1/topic/wish/259464479
