🎤 Class Assembly – Rainforest Performance

This term, the children worked incredibly hard preparing for our class assembly, which showcased everything they have been learning about the rainforest.

To get ready, they:

• Rehearsed their spoken lines with confidence and expression
• Practised the songs linked to our rainforest topic
• Worked together to build a smooth, well‑organised performance

Their commitment and teamwork really shone through, and they should be very proud of how brilliantly they presented their learning to an audience.

📚 World Book Day – “The Thieves of Ostia”

World Book Day was a fantastic celebration of reading and creative learning!
The class explored The Thieves of Ostia, a historical mystery set in Roman times, and took part in a range of themed activities, including:

• Roman Rocky Road baking – combining ingredients inspired by Roman flavours to create a delicious treat.
• Roman mosaics – designing and creating colourful mosaic patterns, just like ancient Roman artisans.
• Diary of a Roman – writing from the perspective of a Roman child, soldier or villager to bring history to life.
• Modern-day Ostia fact files – researching what Ostia is like today and comparing it with its ancient past.

The children thoroughly enjoyed diving into Roman history through reading, writing and hands‑on tasks.

🌲 Visit to Gore Farm – Exploring Living Things

This term, we also enjoyed a fantastic trip to Gore Farm, where the children were able to deepen their understanding of living things and habitats.

During our visit, the class:

• Explored the forest area, observing a variety of plants, insects and other wildlife
• Compared the woodland habitat to those we have studied in class
• Discussed how different animals and living things depend on one another
• Noted similarities and differences between British woodlands and rainforest ecosystems

The hands‑on experience helped bring our science learning to life, allowing the children to make real‑world connections with the topics of habitats, classification and biodiversity.
