Roman Entertainment

The children who opted to learn more about Roman entertainment had a great day with Mrs Hunter and Mrs Baker, trying out some Roman-style board games and then building their own chariots to enter in a race. Check out the winners sporting their medals!

Year 3's Roman Battle!

Year 3 were visited by their Year 3 friends from Skerton St Luke's. They trained in army formations using the fantastic shields they created a home and then took part in a re-enactment of a Roman battle!

Castles Theme Day

Reception and Key Stage 1 have had a great day at Torrisholme Castle! Along with the children from Skerton St Luke's, the children dressed in medieval costumes and took part in a range of activities, culminating in a banquet in our transformed school hall. There was baking, building, dancing and lots of fun was had by all!

Key Stage 2 Roman Choice Day

Today, the children in Key Stage 2 finished off a great week learning about The Romans by choosing an area that they would like to learn about in more depth. Choices included Roman art, entertainment, housing/buildings and the army. Children worked in mixed age groups to take an lots of exciting tasks and challenges.

They also enjoyed a picnic lunch in their classrooms, after the Key Stage 1 banquet took over the hall!

Welcome to Torrisholme Castle

The staff were working hard after school this afternoon on a special challenge - to transform the school hall into our very own castle ready for tomorrow's theme day and medieval banquet! We look forward to welcoming the children from Skerton St Luke's for a fantastic day!

Year 6 Visit Vindolanda

Year 6 had a great adventure visiting the site of the Vindolanda Roman fort with the children from Skerton St Luke's. They visited the excavated fort and settlement, where they met an archaeologist, a museum about the Roman army, which included a holographic Roman teacher and a 3D film about the settlement. 

Year 2 Visit to Clitheroe Castle

Year 2 had a fabulous, action-packed day visiting Clitheroe Castle. They made armour for an egg and threw it over the curtain wall to see how successful it was at protecting the egg! They also made a motte and bailey castle out of sand and sticks, about dragons and how to protect themselves from dragons using a sword and shield!

3W's Amazing Roman Shield Homework Challenge!

Before half term, in preparation for the re-enactment of a Roman battle at Skerton St Luke's, Mrs Wood and Mrs Hunter set their class the challenge of making their very own replica Roman shield. Mrs Wood was thrilled this morning, to see how hard all the children (and their parents!) have been working over the holidays to fulfill the challenge. 

I think the Skerton St Luke's Army will surrender as soon as they see us get off the coach with these!! Well done 3W!
