Hello children, parents and carers - Term 3

Welcome to Term 3 and a Happy New Year to you all!

This term, Hawks will explore Ancient Rome and research the Roman invasion of Britain, as well as the spread of the Roman Empire world-wide.

Our two class texts are ‘Romans on the Rampage’ by Jeremy Strong and ‘What the Romans did for us’ by Alison Hawes. Whilst the first is comedic fiction, which will be used to hook the children into their roles as Roman chariot designers and then racers, the second is non-fiction and discusses Roman inventions that shape our lives today.

The children really enjoyed our Wow Day and started making their Roman clocks, complete with Roman Numerals and mosaic patterns. We will be taking this one step further as we practise following instructions to attach a working clock mechanism. These will be displayed in the classroom and the children will bring these home at the end of term.

Mathematical learning will be finding factor pairs in the first instance, followed by multiplying and dividing 2 and 3-digit numbers. We will then progress on to studying perimeter and length.

Mr Hayes will be taking the first group of children swimming and I will be teaching gymnastics this term. Children do need to remember their swimming kits. PE kits can remain in school as usual.

This term will also include Children’s Mental Health Week, Safer Internet Day and Dog’s Trust Workshops.

Please feel free to contact me with any queries or pop into the classroom to have a look at our Roman-themed learning space and say hello!

All the best,

Mrs Kennett.
