Half term home learning and upcoming dates

  

Hello everyone, 

We hope you are having a lovely half term break so far.

Hopefully your child brought home their home learning sheet, but just in case they didn’t, I thought it would be helpful to share the details here on the blog.

🛡 Roman Day Home Learning Challenge

Your challenge is to create a Celtic or Roman shield, ready to take into battle on our Roman Day on Friday 27th March.

Please bring completed shields into school by Monday 9th March, as we will be using them in our Year 3 assembly later that week.

We can’t wait to see your creative designs!

🎭 Year 3 Assembly

Our Year 3 assembly will now take place on Friday 13th March.

Please note that this is a change from the date shared at the parents’ information session — apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Our assembly will be based on the History topics the children have studied at POW:

• The Victorians

• Moon Landings

• Trains

• Great Fire of London

• Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole 

• Stone Age to Iron Age

If you have any suitable costumes linked to these topics, please do get in touch.

📚 World Book Day & Mystery Readers

During the week of World Book Day, we will once again be welcoming Mystery Readers into school.

Volunteers are invited to come in and read to the class at 3.00pm. At the moment, we have a Mystery Reader booked in for Friday.

If you are available to be a Mystery Reader on any of the other days, please let me know — the children absolutely love the surprise!

World Book Day itself is Thursday 5th March.
Children are invited to come to school dressed as:

• Their favourite book character, or

• A character linked to their interests

We are looking forward to a week filled with stories and reading for pleasure.
