Here are the book covers we created as part of our media week. We used an app called brushes and designed an image to reflect the story we were thinking about ‘Adventure at Sandy Cove’.
The story was set on a beach and the characters hid from the villain in a cave.
Look out for some of them which will be featured in the Rosendale voice magazine!
We have just begun learning about Europe as part of our geography curriculum.
We would love it if any parents that have links to other European countries would be able to help us out.
Maybe you have some objects or photos the children could bring in and share. Or maybe you would like to come and chat to the class. Any time you are available will be welcome particularly straight after independent learning if you are already in the school. (Yes, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are countries in Europe)
Today we learned the names of the continents and learned that about 300 million years ago Pangaea (all the continents stuck together) broke up and moved away. They still move 2cm every year. Pangea means ‘all lands’.
By Abigail
Today I learned that there are 7 continents and that Europe has 44 countries.

To finish off our Roman unit we had an invasion in the playground.
The Celts were happily working away in their Iron Age jobs when, in the distance, gradually becoming louder and louder, they heard the marching of the Roman Army.
In this video 3ML play the Celts but we think we were an even more convincing army 🙂

After half term we are going to be learning about Europe as part of our geography curriculum. If any parents have links to other European countries we would love to hear from you. Maybe you have some objects or photos the children could bring in and share. Or maybe you would like to come and chat to the class.
We are very lucky here at Rosendale to have the fantastic resources to make a radio show. This show is broadcast on Friday and we often listen to it in class. The radio regularly features some of our classmates reading things like the news, jokes and stories as well as some input from teachers.
Our favourite part of the radio broadcast is the Celebrations. Each week students from our class are celebrated by Miss Atkins for things they have achieved.
Listen to the last podcast here: https://rosendaleradio.podbean.com/e/rosendale-radio-26th-may-2017/
This episode featured Oscar, Shyan, Marta, Daniel, Chloe, Frieda, Kiegan.
(hint: celebrations start a 12mins)

Yesterday (Monday), we went to the Museum of London. We walked to Herne Hill station and caught the train to Farringdon in our groups. I was with Chloë, Abigail, Marta and my mum!
When we got to the museum we had a Roman workshop to get to. When we got to the lesson we got to hand around Roman things in our group and we got an oil lamp but we had to guess what it was. After that the teacher picked 5 people to come up and dress up. I was one of them! I got to dress up as a Roman maid in a long pink dress. After we dressed up we took a picture with a Roman house backdrop.

On the trip we learnt about how different dye’s were different prices. We also dressed up. Miss lanser was the emperor and I was the knight. I also learnt that armour was very heavy. Me and my group had a grooming kit and we got a replica and when we saw the real thing it was a lot darker but it was cool to hold something so old. We said its weird how in two thousand years some things have changed and others have not.

London was called Londonia.
After lunch we went to the exhibit to know what we would need for battle and other things.
I would recommend this trip because it’s fun and there are loads of things to do.
