In History we have really enjoyed learning about why the Romans invaded and settled in Britain. Remember to ask your child about the Celtic revolt that was led by Boudicca and whether they would like to be a Roman soldier or not. The girls were horrified to hear that they would have been married at 12 years of age under Roman rule! We have shared lots of fascinating facts from our Roman information books and this has linked in with non-fiction writing in English.
Also, as part of our 'Plants and Reproduction' topic we have worked really hard on the outside environment in school to get rid of the huge amount of weeds. What a difference we have made - everyone has noticed!
Baines’ Got Talent took place at Millfield earlier in the month - we were really proud of Lilian, Alice and Freya (who performed an amazing gymnastic routine together) and Penelope (who sang a beautiful solo).
To celebrate VE Day we had a school picnic on the field, decorated the classroom with bunting and had a special assembly.
