Year 4 Roman Trip to Chester

On Tuesday 18^th March, we will be taking Year 4 to the Deva Roman Discovery Centre in Chester as part of our topic on the Romans. We have run this trip many times over the years and we know how much the children benefit from the range of experiences included in the day and how much the visit enhances their learning. This will be our last big trip of the year.

The visit will include a Roman Workshop run by the education team at the Discovery Centre and a Roman Soldier tour around Chester.

The children should wear full school uniform on their top half, but can wear their own trousers on the bottom half for comfort (e.g. jeans or tracksuit bottoms).

• The children will need to wear footwear that is comfortable and practical for walking eg trainers or walking shoes.
• All children must bring a waterproof coat as we will be ‘marching’ through Chester – we need to be prepared for all weather.
• Children will need a packed lunch with adequate drink. This should be in a named plastic or paper bag or a small rucksack. No fizzy drinks please.

Year 4 Tudor Workshop

As part of our topic on the Tudors, Year 4 will be taking part in a whole day workshop on Monday 4th November. This will take place at school and will include the following activities;

• Survival strategies in Tudor England, covering crime & punishment, the school room, medicine, cosmetics and banqueting.
• Craft activity making a souvenir from felt.
• Performing a play and enjoying some Tudor entertainment in the hall.

We are very excited about the day; it will really bring our topic to life and enhance the children’s learning as well as being lots of fun. Children should wear their normal uniform on the day.

Swimming Lessons

Year 4 will be having swimming lessons, starting Thursday 19th September. These will be every Thursday, last lesson, for the next 10 weeks.

•Children need a swimming costume / trunks and a towel in a bag which fits in their locker and they can easily carry.

•Swimming caps for long hair.

•Earrings to be removed.

•Please don’t forget a warm, waterproof coat for the walk home.

•We should be back in plenty of time for home time but if we are running late, we will notify the office.
