Lunt Roman Fort visit

On Monday 25th September, 4S and 4D visited Lunt Roman Fort. We had an amazing time learning about the life of a Roman soldier. Here’s a link to the website:

https://www.luntromanfort.org/the-fort

Can you recall the things we discovered and what we practised in the gyrus, for example..?

Here are some photos from the day:

 

Evidence inside the Horreum / Granary section which included a model of what the fort would have looked like when it was built originally.

Sin, dex, sin, dex, sin, dex !!! Can you explain what these words mean, what they were short for and when you would use them?

Missing pens

Our elf has been inspired by some of the greatest women in history – to be the first elf to fly to the moon. Unfortunately, he decided to take our whiteboard pens with him!

Elf Mischief

Our elf on a bookshelf is busy recommending books and causing mischief.

Elfino – now wants to be known as Arrr-fino as he enjoyed reading pocket pirates and wants to swap a sleigh for a pirate ship!

Congratulations Bearwood Crew

Congratulations to the Bearwood Crew Dance Club. This year, you have worked really hard and Mrs Sibley is very proud of you. Please take a look at the videos of our most recent performances.

The first was originally performed at the Walsall Arts Centre and the second one is a performance of the routines we have worked throughout the year at Dance Club. Well done!
