Today Year 3/4 re-enacted a Roman invasion. We spent all morning making Roman helmets and shields. As classes we practised battle formations and put together an invasion plan. In the afternoon we set up base camps and applied our strategy to invade the other camps.

Year 6 had a wonderful morning last week when we were lucky enough to have a parliamentary experience which had been organised by Sheffield Wednesday.  Previous to the morning, Y6 had been hard at work creating their own manifestos on how they would improve playtimes if they were voted to power. On the day, 4 children were elected to lead their party and deliver the manifestos to the audience of peers, Mick and Darren from Sheffield Wednesday and our very special visitor Angela Smith MP.  After listening to the speeches, it was decision making time and everyone had to cast their vote on the ballot papers and post them in the ballot box.  Following this, the Registrar, Polling Officer and Chief Counter had the official task of totting up the votes and declaring the winner.

Quotes from Y6 Thank you letters to Angela Smith MP



"Having our own election was an awesome experience! 
It was a hard decision to make because they all had excellent ideas to make sure that playtimes were better"



"Because of your inspirational speech I have now become a lot more intrigued about parliament
and I would love to visit the House of Commons one day"



"I was very proud when I found out that I was picked to be Chief Counter.  As well as being excited I also felt nervous about delivering the news of the winning party"



"One of my favourite parts was being a Candidate in the election and expressing how we thought playtime could be improved.  I wasn't really bothered that I didn't win, I was just very honoured that I had the privilege to read aloud my manifesto in front of my very own MP (you)"
