Well, what a busy week it has been this week. We have celebrated Harvest Festival with a whole-school celebration and visit from Reverend Sharon and enjoyed singing our Harvest Festival songs. A big thank you to those that brought in donations, these will be donated to Caring for Life as decided by the school council.

We had lots of fun in History where we looked at Roman society and the different roles within this. We had a role play activity where we acted as Patricians, Plebeians and Slaves and got to work out who had each role. 

In Science, we applied all of our learning of the digestive system to a practical experiment. This included crushing biscuits to represent the role our mouth plays, using bananas to represent the saliva and adding orange juice as stomach acid. After this, we used tights to represent the small and large intestine to produce the waste product. The children thoroughly enjoyed getting involved with how the digestive system works!

In Writing, we focussed on double consonants and had a competition of who could think of the most words with these spelling patterns in only 3 minutes! We had some very impressive outcomes, so we look forward to seeing these in their writing.

We look forward to our Roman Workshop next week and creating our shields in DT! 

Have a lovely weekend everybody.
