Pupils of year 3 were feeling very proud this week when showing their amazing shields.  They were able to give us lots of interesting facts about Roman times including how they used the shields and how they were made:  the range of food they ate: Roman baths: and were able to list some of the well-known Emperors.  Well done Year 3!

This week year 6 welcomed Karen from Hampshire fire and rescue who explored with us keeping safe from fire. We discussed the risks found in our homes as well as the importance of checking our smoke detectors once a week. Karen then talked to us about getting out of our house in the quickest (and safest) way and we designed our own escape route plans to share with our families.

Year 3 had an RE Day this week which was all about marriage ceremonies.  We learnt about the traditions and the importance of marriage ceremonies, and Ross Sinkinson from Alderholt Chapel spoke to them in more detail.

In the afternoon, we looked at Jewish marriage ceremonies and how they compared to Christian ones and shared our thoughts and feelings of marriage.

We had a fun Maths lesson this week.  The children were looking at estimating and measuring items around the classroom.  They were estimating in millimetres, centimetres and metres, and were measuring all sorts of things such as pencils, pens, tables, whiteboards and the height of the door frame!  They were also measuring height of each other.  Lots of fun learning!

Year 5 welcomed the volunteers from Salisbury museum who taught us the skills of curating a museum. We look forward to sharing our skills with you at our museum open afternoon on Thursday 14th February.
