On Monday we had a wonderful day visiting the world class mosaics at Fishbourne Roman Palace. They have a great educational team there and Charley (our guide) gave us a very informative talk about Roman life. We explored a traditional Roman kitchen, learnt how to write Roman numerals and letters on wax and papyrus, tried spinning wool into thread and even built a free standing bridge with wooden blocks.
There is a beautiful garden with lots of curious herbs to smell and a museum with interesting artefacts. One of the things the children enjoyed most was just sitting and sketching the mosaics in the main room.
We all want to say a huge thank you to the parent volunteers who joined us on the trip, We couldn’t have done it without you.

Back in class the children have worked hard writing a detailed recount of the trip. In maths we have started looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and nearest 100.

Next week is an exciting one for me personally as I am getting married in Brighton on Saturday the 8th October. I will be out of school on Friday the 7th.
