What was life really like in Roman Britain?

This week, Year 4 headed to Fishbourne Roman Palace to find out. As part of their 'Our Changing World' theme this term, the children had a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand just how much life has changed since Roman Britain.

One big lesson? Listening matters! The children quickly discovered how important it was to pay full attention to instructions to ensure they were able to complete their tasks, including some challenging structural engineering. And were rewarded with some truly impressive Roman empires of their own making.

Year 6 have been getting creative this week! In Art, they’ve been designing their very own Tudor family crests, and the results are incredible. From bold symbols to vibrant colours, every crest tells a unique story. Beyond the drawing, the children discovered that visual communication can be just as powerful as words when conveying a personal message. #independentschool #artlesson #confidentcommunicator #prepschool #preprepschools

Effective communication is very important especially when you are building a workspace big enough for you, your classmate and your laptops. Reception children demonstrated their strong communication skills by explaining their ideas, giving instructions and listening carefully to understand each other’s new and innovative construction ideas.

Our Nursery children are continually developing their communication skills. They understand that we speak for many different reasons, from sharing information and building relationships to expressing our emotions.

There was certainly no doubt about their feelings this morning, as excited chatter and infectious giggles drifted beyond the gates while they lined up for forest school.
