All hail Boudicca!
05 Feb 2016
This week in year 3, we have been learning about Celts. We have discovered that these people in the Iron Age lived not only in the U.K. but across most of Europe too! The children enjoyed discovering the different countries where Celts had once lived.
One particularly interesting Celt we have been learning about is Boudicca. The children learned all about her rebellion across Colchester, London and St Albans. They wrote acrostic poems about her. Here is an example by Pippa:
Bold, strict powerful
Outraged at the rotten Romans
Uncontrolled but as fierce as a fireball in a cannon
Dangerous already but getting stronger
Iceni tribe see her as their true leader
Courageously she showed the way to London
Causing fire and war
As fierce as a lion.
