This week we have been extra crafty and made our wonderful Roman shields and helmets. We were finished painting, tying, folding, cutting, sticking and stapling just in time to rush out onto the field and demonstrate the battle formations we have learnt about.

The favourite is always “the tortoise” where the children use their shield to protect themselves from Celtish foam javelins.

In English we wrote letters home to Rome to explain what life was like in Roman Britain.

In Maths we have been learning column subtraction, and using our place value knowledge to exchange when necessary.
