Friday 21 November 2025 Year 4 Performance Poetry This half-term, Year 4 have been preparing for our Performance Poetry. We have learnt and performed ‘Bug Parade’ by Zaro Weil. We each took a line, and focused on performing it with accuracy, pace and expression. We then did a great job of performing our poem in assembly.

Friday 7 November 2025 Year 4 Roman Day For our Roman Day, we all came into school dressed in Roman outfits. During the day, we took part in lots of activities to begin to learn about what life as a Roman soldier might be like. In the morning, we recapped some of our previous learning about Roman Numerals. We then designed our own Roman mosaic shields based on traditional designs, considering the meaning of each of the elements of the crest. We later created them ready for our battle in the afternoon. After lunch, we went learnt how to march and move in a variety of different formations. Our favourites were The Tortoise, The Wedge and The Orb. Once we were confident with our formations, we had tag battles between the classes taking it in turns to act as the Romans and the unsuspecting Celts. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and are looking forward to learning more about the Romans.

Tuesday 23 September 2025 Year 4 The Newt Roman Villa Trip On Tuesday, Year 4 had the opportunity to visit The Newt Roman Villa. During the morning, we looked around the museum which included the original foundations of the Roman Villa and parts of a Roman mosaic which were uncovered on the site. We also had the chance to look around a realistic replica of the Roman Villa which was originally built on the site. We explored the various rooms of the Villa, including the kitchen, study, dining room and bathhouse. We all really enjoyed the trip and are looking forward to writing recounts of our experiences later in the week.
