Our topic this term is

The Romans

The book that we are reading as a class is ‘Queen of Darkness’

The gripping story of Boudica and her battle against the Roman empire, told through the eyes of a young girl.

Young Rhianna is relieved when Queen Boudica takes in her and her sister when their parents die. But there’s a darkness in Boudica that’s waiting to be unleashed and the Romans will suffer for their crimes against her. Soon, Rhianna witnesses much more than the kindness that Boudica has shown her and her sister. There’s a battle coming… and a terrible aftermath.

This exciting and engaging take on a powerful woman from history from the master historical storyteller, Tony Bradman, is a great way to cover Boudica who is covered on the Key Stage 2 (KS2) curriculum in England. 

Lots of our literacy will be based around the book this term.

Y3 have a spelling test each Wednesday. Throughout the year, they will be learning the Y3/4 statutory spellings as well as words which follow a particular spelling rule. 

Your child has a booklet with their spellings to practice. Here is an online copy:
