Year 3

Launch day - 08.01.25

This half term, Year 3 are diving into the fascinating world of the Romans. The morning began with an exciting exploration of Roman artifacts, sparking curiosity and lively discussion among the children. They examined various objects, speculating on their purpose and use in Roman daily life. One particular artifact, a sponge on a stick, caused quite a stir when its true use was revealed, leading to much laughter and surprise.

Next, the children played a Roman-themed board game, designed to teach them about different aspects of Roman life. As they moved around the board, they collected points by landing on squares that highlighted Roman customs, culture, and innovations. The inclusion of chance cards added an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability, making the game even more engaging.

The morning concluded with a fun and educational game of "Call My Bluff." In this activity, three children presented different explanations for the purpose of a Roman artifact. The rest of the class voted on which explanation they found most convincing, sharpening their reasoning and debating skills while learning more about Roman history.

The children are now eagerly anticipating their upcoming trip to the Gunnersbury Museum at the end of the month, where they will have the opportunity to see even more Roman artifacts and deepen their understanding of this remarkable period in history.
