Year 4 studied different Chinese blossom artwork and then used watercolours to create their own painting. They looked closely at the range and depth of colours and worked hard to show different shades of pinks and greens. They tried hard to add texture to their artwork by using colour effectively.

Year 4 went to Heworth CLC for a lesson on data logging. They used data loggers to record sound and light information. They then transferred this data into graphs. The children learned about data being gathered in real life such as weather and tide changes. They had a great morning and worked very hard!]]> tag:www.romanroadprimary.org,2012://1.775 2012-02-01T20:03:12Z 2012-02-01T20:10:00Z

Year 4 have learned lots about China! They know where it is on a map and which continent it is in. The children each made their own Chinese dragon! They have listened to, spoken and written chinese numbers to 10. The class really enjoyed researching information about the giant panda and then wrote a non chronological report. Ask your child what else we learned about China! ]]> tag:www.romanroadprimary.org,2012://1.773 2012-01-31T11:54:55Z 2012-01-31T11:57:19Z

Year 5 and 6 children are continuing to take part in a lunchtime Animation club that is ran by Mr Bradshaw. They use the digi-blue camera to take lots of photographs of a scene after it has been slightly adjusted. All the photos are then put together to make a short film. Some of the year 5 children are getting ready to represent the school in the annual competition at Heworth CLC. ]]> tag:www.romanroadprimary.org,2012://1.769 2012-01-29T21:10:35Z 2012-01-29T22:52:38Z

To explain what we've learnt, each group constructed their own timeline and presented it to the class. We also did some Maths to work out where the approximate place of each event would be on the timeline.]]> tag:www.romanroadprimary.org,2012://1.768 2012-01-15T21:01:57Z 2012-01-15T21:28:36Z

Just before Christmas, Year 6 had an amazimg day out at the CLC at Heworth. We spent the morning creating our own tunes on Garage band. Next we had the fabulous opportunity of trying out I-pads. They were really cool!...

After luch we learned all about spreadsheets, and recorded data for the Animal Olympics. Everybody had a great day, and we all learned a lot.

Twenty five children from year 5 & 6 had a fantastic trip to London. After setting off early from Newcastle Central Station on the Tuesday, we reached Kings Cross after three hours. During the rest of the first day the...

]]> Day two started with a brief visit to look at Big Ben and then Downing Street. From there, we had an outstanding tour around the Houses of Parliament. This was followed by an excellent workshop about elections and voting (some children got voted to be MP's). Our trip to Parliament finished with a very interesting talk by our MP, Ian Mearns. After leaving Parliament we got the Tube to Piccadilly Circus and then walked down the Haymarket to Planet Hollywood restaurant where we had a great meal. It was then time for shopping and a look at the lights at Piccadilly Circus before heading back to Kings Cross. All the children were extremely well behaved. They were very sensible especially while making a number of journeys on the London Underground and walking in some busy places. tag:www.romanroadprimary.org,2011://1.764 2011-11-27T16:01:01Z 2011-11-27T16:33:08Z
