🍽️ Come and Have Lunch with Your Child

Exciting RE news! Years 1, 4 and 6 will each be taking part in an African Drumming workshop on Thursday 8^th October. This will be a fun way of linking their knowledge and developing an understanding about different global cultural practises and traditions. This is an important part of their overall RE learning journey. The workshop will also make a nice cross-curricular link to the Black History month which beings on 1st October.

Year 5 Visit to RAF Cosford – Friday 9^th October

As an introduction to next half term’s curriculum work on our topic of Space, we have arranged for Year 5 to visit the RAF Museum, on Friday 9^th October.

Whilst there we will be very busy making and firing paper rockets, building and programming a Mars Rover with LEGO robotics, junk modelling satellites from recycled materials and watching a presentation about the problem of space junk and space sustainability.

We will be leaving school at 9.00am, shortly after morning registration, and return around 3pm.

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch on the day to eat whilst at the museum. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch by our school meals provider. This will include a sandwich of your choice, a piece of fruit, a packet of crisps and a cake. Please also ensure that they wear school uniform and have a lightweight/waterproof coat with them. No spending money is required.

The cost of the trip is £7.60.  Payment for this trip should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of the trip.

In case of an emergency or medical incident during the trip please can you check that your contact details are up-to-date on Arbor prior to the trip. Thank you for your assistance.

There is a reduced charge of £1 for Targeted Free School Meal families.

No change of clothes is required-school uniform as normal please

Come and Have Lunch with Your Child

As part of our topic on the Ancient Romans, each Year 4 class will be having an exciting Roman Day.

The day will be packed with fun activities linked to our Roman topic, giving the children the chance to experience what life was like during Roman times.

Please bring:

🔹An empty cereal box – ideally one where the front is larger than A4. If you have more than one, even better! We will be using these for some Roman-themed crafting activities during the day.

🔹A coat – we will be spending some time outdoors, so please make sure your child is prepared for the weather.

🔹Outdoor shoes – these will be needed for our outdoor activities.

Come dressed as a Roman

If possible, we would love the children to come to school dressed as a Roman. They could come as:

⚔️ A centurion

👑 An emperor

🏛️ A citizen of Rome

🧺 A slave

🌟 A Roman god or goddess

Please don’t feel that you need to buy anything specially for the day! There are lots of simple ways to create a Roman costume using things you may already have at home.

For example:

🔹A flat bed sheet can easily be turned into a toga.

🔹A large piece of scrap fabric, plain clothes and a scarf could make a simple slave tunic.

🔹A cardboard box and some tin foil could be transformed into a centurion’s breastplate or shield.

We are really looking forward to stepping back in time and being Romans for the day! 🏛️⚔️
