Marvellous Roman Shields by Isabelle
We have been learning all about the Romans and we have been making shields that a Roman soldier might have had. The swords on the shields represent war and the lightning bolts represent the ruler of the Roman gods, Jupiter. We designed the shields and then made them using cardboard, red paper, foil and glue. Some of our shields are symmetrical. We are looking forward to learning how Roman legions used their shields when they were away at war!

We have an exciting opportunity coming up for one family to strengthen their European links and language skills!

Message from the Governors
Meet your Governors
The parent teacher appointment day on Friday 19th October should see many of you in school, so the governors hope you will also take the opportunity to visit their refreshment table! As well as enjoying a coffee with them, this will be a great time to meet the governors and find out more about their work for school.
MESSAGE FROM THE FRIENDS
Our new chair people: The wonderful Tina, Liz and Katy have volunteered to co-chair this year, but they need a fourth person to share the role. This is an ideal opportunity to get involved as the team are very experienced so can guide any newcomer through with ease. Please get in touch.
Design your own Christmas card or mug: Your child will bring home a form to complete for designing and ordering their own personalised items. Please return it by Monday 22nd October. Thank you.
