Good Morning everyone,
The children have continued to be fascinated by the life of the Celts and the story of Boudicca this week. They imagined what life would have been like during Celtic times and they prepared and delivered some passionate speeches as Celtic warriors defending their land. Next term's topic will be the Romans,
In RE we finished our unit on Judaism and Passover with a Seder meal. We discussed the symbolism of each food item on the Seder plate and I was very impressed with their willingness to try the different foods - including horseradish!
Home Learning
For this week's home learning we would like children to experience making different shadows, experimenting with shadows of different shapes and sizes. Children are welcome to print or email photos or videos of their shadows or shadow puppet theatres to Mrs Thorpe: b.thorpe@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
With Mr Gibson's last day at the POW fast approaching, if you would like to share a drawing, message or photo to thank him or wish him well please either email them to me c.browne@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk or give paper drawings to Claire West by Wednesday 12th February.
Save any big pieces of cardboard
The half term home learning will be for children to make their own Roman shield. More details will be sent home next week but ideally the shield will be big enough for the children to hold up and hide behind like a Roman soldier.

Happily the sun made a welcome appearance in the sky this week and with it lots of jumpers were deposited in our jumper dumper.
Unfortunately, quite a few jumpers have not made their way back to their owners as they were not labeled.
Please could I request that all clothing has an up to date name label in it so that we can return them to your child. Feel free to have a look through our jumper dumper for any missing jumpers.
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The year 3 team.
