Dear Parents/Carers of Y4 pupils

 

As part of our Spring term topic on The Romans, we are fortunate to have a visit from Partake history group on Thursday 25th & Friday 26th March. During the day the children will take part in a full day of Roman activities including:

• Developing team skills by learning to use your shields while under attack, in the ‘tortoise’ formation
•  Become an engineer by building an arch, try writing on wax tablets, creating a mosaic for the bath house and then try your hand at a game of chance
•  Discover Roman dress, armour and weaponry as two children are transformed into Portia, a Roman noble lady and her brother Marcellus, a Roman soldier
• Handle and investigate extraordinary artefacts and inventions, all with a link to health and hygiene
   

This in-school activity day will help children develop their knowledge of the Romans.

The cost of this exciting day has already been subsidised by The Lanes Fundraising Group, but to help cover the cost we would like to ask parents for a voluntary donation of £5 towards this event.
Cash/cheque donations (payable to The Lanes Primary School) can be sent to the office, alternatively you are able to make a donation online via sQuid.

 

Many thanks
