Boudicca song!

Who was Boudicca?  Why was she known as the Warrior Queen?

We shared this song in class to find out about her - here it is again! ENJOY!

Happy Half Term, Year 3!

Enjoy your half term break, Year 3 - let's hope the weather is a little kinder to us this week!

Remember to keep up with your spellings, reading and times tables practice.

Watch out for further web links, that I will be posting, to help you with your research for the Romans.  Remember, when we return we will be looking at the Roman army, what the Romans did for leisure and fun, Roman legacies (what they left for us) and Roman homes.

Birmingham Symphony Hall - Primary Proms Concert

On Monday, Year 3 took the train into Birmingham to visit Symphony Hall.  We watched the Primary Proms Concert, hosted by Music For Youth.  We had a wonderful time, listening to different types of music and singing.  The performers were all very talented!







Can you remember the names of your favourite musical instruments?




What was your favourite performance?  Did the trip inspire you to become a musician?

Check out the school website to see more pictures from our trip.

Thank you to Mrs Aldred for organsing this experience for us!
