The Roman Army

The Roman army was a sophisticated arm who worked together to invade and rule other countries and increase its empire. The Romans used influences from other armies to build a bigger and better force. The Roman army started small but soon grew larger into a full time occupational force and its control reached a long way from its base in Rome.

• The Roman Army was key to Rome’s success in building its empire.

• In the beginning, the soldiers were better off citizens who were sent home at the end of each war.

• The Romans copied Greek armies and fought on foot with long spears.

• As the army grew, lots of things changed. They were no longer sent home at the end of each battle, being a soldier became a full time job where the soldiers were well trained and tough.

• Soldiers were paid regular wages.

• The soldiers would do a drill every day, twice if he was a recruit.

• The Roman soldiers wore a woolen tunic that had short sleeves and came down to just above their knees.

• To protect himself in battle, he also wore a metal helmet and had metal plates protecting his upper body.

• The Roman soldier carried a wooden shield and fought with a short sword called a Gladius and a dagger or one or more throwing spears, called Javelins.

• The Romans ruled Britain from Forts and for many years kept an army of 55,000 soldiers in Britain.

Sophie the Vampire Maid

One Monday morning, Ada was waiting patiently for her food. Until suddenly she saw an odd girl working in the kitchen with Mrs Beat’em.

The odd girl, was actually Sophie. She was a vampire maid that works in the kitchen. She was extremely tall for her age, so whenever she was cooking, she has to duck all the time to complete any meals!

She wore a lovely, frilly, black and white dress with polished, strapped boots. On top of her head, she had midnight black pigtails with bobbles the same colour as

Demonic Daniel

As Ada crept up the creaky, wooden stairs leading to the attic, she heard a quiet mumble. Wanting to find out where the noise was coming from, she burst through the door and saw a boy, sitting on a dusty old bed. Glancing up at the ceiling above the bed she saw a wooden sign saying, ‘Demonic Daniel’ in pure white letters.

Ada walked towards Daniel and noticed that he had dust all over his face. Her eyes moved to a black anvil with a hammer. In the corner of the room was a hot furnace which was burning iron. On the anvil, she noticed a half-finished axe.

Then Ada turned to face Daniel, it was evidently clear that she did not like him.

her hair. Pearly white fangs could be seen in her mouth, but her normal teeth were yellow. Sophie has eyes as brown as mud and log spikey eyelashes.

Ada was creepily looking at Sophie who was gently sweeping the floor back and forth. Sophie caught Ada looking at her so she quickly approached Ada.

‘My… n-n-name is S-S-Sophie,’ she said quietly.

‘Oh, uh, my name is Ada. Sorry for watching you weirdly. But I’ve never seen a vampire in the kitchens before!’

‘Who are you and how did you get into this house?’ Ada said.

‘I don’t know,’ Daniel said. ‘I’ve lived here all my life. Well, I am pretty certain I have.’

Daniel, who was quite tall, had very bright, blue eyes which gleamed in the sunlight. His forehead was covered in a thick layer of messy brown hair which covered his eyes.

Ada then told Daniel to come with her. Reluctantly, Daniel followed her down to the garden. He walked slowly, with a bit of a limp. He didn’t really like talking, so just answered with small, soft grunts.

Cop 26 (The Conference of the Parties)

We considered the purpose and the role of the conference in our Humanities lessons on ’Threats to our Environment’.

Cop 26 is all about tackling climate change. Many world leaders signed what is called the Paris Agreement to limit global warming all around to the world. They want to reach something called Net Zero, which is being carbon neutral. Carbon Neutral means that as many greenhouse gases as possible can be taken out of the ozone layer. If this can’t happen, they should all try and help prevent more greenhouse gases and carbon emissions from getting in our ozone layer.

For Cop26, many world leaders have taken their time to come to Glasgow to participate. People like Boris Johnson and Joe Biden have come to take a stand against climate change. There are some ideas of hydrogen as a source of energy that have been thought about. People are always thinking of ways to reduce how much energy we use to help climates get better for us globally. If we all could change our ways, just like our world leaders want us to, the world could be much healthier.

Year 6 Trip To The Kitchens

On The 23rd Of November, the class of 6CH went to the kitchen for a very interesting lesson and I would like to share it with you. 6CH had a talk with the deputy manager for the BMS kitchen named Johnathan, who if you are a student of BMS, you might get your plates and cutlery handed to you by him. He gave us so much information on our kitchen, I and others learnt so much about how the food is local, eco and how large of an area they use for preparation. There are a few things we might not notice but are very important to know, for example all the food is local and nearby so that is amazing by helping local companies. An intriguing fact I learnt, was how much water is actually used to make dinner, the roast takes so much water because almost everything is cleaned or boiled in water. 6CH class had so many questions for the kitchen staff, things like ‘What do you refuse to use in the kitchen?’ or ‘Did the water bill go down when you took away the water jugs?’. Johnathan was extremely helpful and answered most of these questions, the first answer was the kitchen does not use nuts for allergy reasons and they are trying to work with a company to stop using plastic sandwich boxes and change to cardboard or recyclable materials. Another answer was that the water jugs were taken away for covid reasons, not the water bills, but they are getting rid of very high water usage appliances.

The kitchen is also trying new recipes to make more balanced meals and there are a lot of chefs who spend a long time making a child’s lunch because there are so many pupils. 6CH was lucky enough to go into the kitchen and see what the prep stations were like. We met some chefs as well. It was incredible to see how much they do for the school and how hard they work.

Things in the kitchen were very large like mixing bowls were 3 times the size of a normal one and it was just so amazing and quite inspiring to see how you can change things to be better for our home and planet but still make great things happen! I and 6CH really hope you enjoy hearing about our visit. We hope you might see the kitchen sometime too, maybe even try to make your own kitchen more eco-friendly! We had such a great time and a lovely talk.
