Viking and Anglo-Saxon Invaders and World Book Day

Everyone chose fantastic costumes for world book day and some of them were really funny.  Year 3 all thought that it was phenomenal! Year 3 were very brave and  paraded their costumes to the whole school around the hall.  Our Head and Deputy Head Teachers all judged the competition brilliantly.  It was a tough decision.  George K and Sophie L scooped up the prizes for best in show.  We all went to the book fair and looked at some books we may wish to purchase with our £1 book token.

We looked at some pictures and video clips to learn about invaders.  All of us have been colouring in pictures of the Anglo-saxons and the Vikings and answering questions about them.  The Anglo-Saxons were invited to England to help the Celts in exchange  for farm land.  They came from North Western Europe in around AD450.  The Vikings came in AD800 from Russia searching for treasures from Monks because they were defenceless, food and land.

Each class in year 3 have been looking at a different area of Roman history.  3T have been looking at Roman Baths, 3K have been researching Roman foods and 3HP have looked at Roman Soldiers.  We have also been working on PowerPoint presentations in ICT.
