History
Green 2 are very excited to start their history lessons; we visited the whole school timeline to identify the period of time in which the Romans became powerful and the Roman Empire began. Also which time the Roman gained power in Britain. We were able to link prior topics and remember that the decline of the Roman Empire allowed the Saxons then Vikings, to be successful in gaining land in Britain. We also thought about lots of different chronology vocabulary. Such as the word ‘concurrence’; so during the Roman Empire was also at a time when the Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Maya were successful in their own territories. We then ordered our own timeline of the British Roman Empire and thought about how to scale and the correct order from BC to AD. It was interesting to learn that Rome began as an empire then became a republic before ending as an empire. So we added ‘Empire’ & the word ‘Kingdom’ to our vocabulary banks.

Science
Science Investigation: How do objects move on different surfaces? We tested out what difference types of materials had on allowing our toy cars to travel. We created a ramp and timed how long the car took to travel down on different surfaces and thought about why. We made predictions, identified what variables we should keep to make it a fair test, recorded our results and wrote an evaluation on our findings.
Identifying how shadows are formed and how the length of the shadow changes when the object is moved away from the light source.
Identifying how shadows move and change in length depending on the time of day. ☀️
