Roman shields

Year 3 have been learning about the Romans, so we have been exploring how the roman army managed to win so many battles. We have practiced javelin throwing, sword fighting and even made some roman shields. We learnt how to march in the tortoise formation, which protected the soldiers from arrows and missiles.

 

Digging rivers

To link to their River topic, year 4 have been making miniature flowing river diagrams. They included features like meanders, source and tributaries by carving them into a hill. We tested them by pouring water from the top and seeing if it made it to the mouth.
