Year 3 roman day
June 2021 saw Year 3 going back in time to the Roman era. Dressed in Roman clothing, they made Roman numeral dice, Roman coins from clay, created their own mosaics as well as recreating models of Roman soldiers in chariots. Finally, after such a packed day, they relaxed over an outdoor Roman feast.

YEAR 4 SCIENCE ORCHESTRA DAY 20TH MAY 2021
As part of their Science topic ‘Sound’ Year 4 ED and RH made their own instruments for homework and shared their work with the class. They showed how their instrument was able to make high and low pitch sounds, different instruments do this in different ways. They played their instruments to The Beatles’ song ‘Blackbird’, also they composed their own songs and music about the topic ‘Sound’ too.
They used their scientific knowledge to plan and carry out a fair test about sound absorption. A band needed their help to find the best material to line their studio with, so the neighbours wouldn’t complain! It was great fun, working together and measuring the sound with the decibel reader.
