P3 update

This week P3 were very inspired by the P6 class and their assembly all about Remembrance Day. We really enjoyed learning all about the Poppies that people wear as a symbol for all the soldiers who fought in the war to keep us safe. We decided to make our own wall display. We wrote acrostic poems for the word POPPY and we thought of some very interesting and moving vocabulary. We also made some pinwheel Poppies and added this altogether to make a beautiful display.

Continuing with our IDL topic of Homes and Castles we looked at ways in which a castle was built for defence. The battlements, portcullis, drawbridhe and moat were all important in keeping those inside the castle safe. We made our own catapults using lolly sticks and elastic bands. We could fire a Pom Pom half way across the classroom.
