We have been looking at mosaics as part of our topic on the Romans and the effect on the Empire in Britain. We looked at a variety of mosaics and discussed how the Romans made them and why they were used. We then found out lots of facts about Roman villas in Britain and the rooms and objects that they had.
Next, we planned and designed our own mosaics before beginning to construct our own mosaics using coloured card cut into tiles. We really enjoyed making them but we are not all finished yet!
Much to the delight of many parents we are loving out topic on Mamma Mia in Music!! (Some bettered ears at home I have been told!)
This week we tried to play the xylophone at the same time as singing along to Mamma Mia – quite a challenge, believe me!
At first a few of us found it hard to keep the beat but after a little bit of practice we managed to play along to the music and even though it wasn’t pitch perfect it sounded great and the children thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
