Year 4 have spent the past few weeks learning all about the Romans and their invasion of Britain in their History lessons so they were very excited to meet a visitor from North Herts Museum on Monday. They were very lucky to be able to see and touch Roman artefacts found in the local area including the sole of a child's shoe, roof and floor tiles from a villa and a bone hair pin. They pretended to be archaeologists and thought carefully about what they could learn about these Roman families from the artefacts. They also got to see what a Roman solider would wear and learnt how to put on a toga. It was an excellent addition to our Year 4 unit - thank you to Miss Porter for organising. 

The Year 6 children had a fantastic trip to Grafham before half term. The children were heard telling each other how it was "the best time of my life" and that they would never forget it! Children tried new things and conquered fears, they worked collaboratively as teams and had a whole load of fun while doing it. The Grafham staff commended the children's behaviour with two instructors suggesting our children this year were the best groups they'd ever worked with - what a lovely compliment to receive. This made Miss Simmons and the other attending school staff very proud (but it didn't mean we squirted them with water any less on the Grafham challenge!)  

All in all - a fantastic weekend with wonderful children - parents you should be very proud! They didn't sleep much however but you can't win them all!!
