Welcome back!
We've had a fabulous first week back at school, it was lovely welcoming all of the children into their new classroom on Tuesday. All of the children have made some new friends, worked really hard and enjoyed their first week back at Roseberry.
Learning started straight away for the Year 3 children, with us learning all about the 'Ring of Fire' The children found out that the 'Ring of Fire' is a horseshoe-shaped line on a map which is home to around 75% of the world's volcanoes and 90% of the world's earthquakes. The area is a 25 000- mile line of volcanoes, tremors and earthquakes around the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The children really enjoyed locating the 'Ring of Fire' on a world map, finding and labelling the different continents, oceans and some of the world largest volcanoes.
Next, we looked closely at Mount Vesuvius. Again, we developed our map skills by locating the volcano on a map of Italy, found the nearby city of Naples and located the historic city of Pompeii. The children were fascinated by the historical facts about Pompeii and are looking forward to learning more!
Well done everyone, a great first week back!
