We have had an energetic week in year 4, being put through our paces as we took part in Roman soldier boot camp. We measured our longest javelin throws and timed our 50m sprint. This was all to help us write a letter to Emperor Claudius, asking to enlist in his army to invade Britannia.
The children used lots of new Latin vocabulary like scutum, gladius and galea to sound more authentic. Please ask your children to see if they remember what they mean.

In maths we used lots of practical resources to explore place value and solidify what we have learnt about thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. If you have a dice at home you could even challenge the children to a game of “naughty or nice dice”, they will explain the rules.

Don’t forget there is no school on Monday 19th. We will see you all on Tuesday!
