Year 3 Visit Caerleon

As part of our Invasion topic, Year 3 visited the Roman remains at Caerleon. We had great fun  exploring the  primary sources and learnt lots of new facts about the way the Romans lived their lives.
Whilst we were there, we all took part in a role play activity, pretending we were either rich Roman people having a meal or the slaves who had to serve them their feast.
We also had the opportunity to visit the replica barracks where we sat on the uncomfortable bunks which were like those that would have been slept on by Roman soldiers. Everyone was also able to try on the lorica segmentata, which was the heavy segmented metal armour worn by the Roman soldiers.
It was a brilliant day and thankfully the rain stopped and the sun shone on us all afternoon whilst we visited the amphitheater and barrack remains.

A Little Bit Of Baking!

Today, as part of our measuring work in Numeracy and our Instruction work in Literacy, Year 3  baked some Celtic oatcakes. We had to read the recipe and follow the instructions carefully and also measure the ingredients by reading the scale accurately. Great fun was had by everyone.

Invasion Day

To begin our new theme Year 3 had an Invasion Day. We researched lots of information about the Celts to understand how they lived their lives, tried our hand at weaving and made Celtic round houses. We also completed some wonderful collages for display in our corridors and classroom.
