Pedestrian Safety
Well done to Year 3 who were fantastic during the Pedestrian Training today. Great listening, following instructions, and lovely manners - a real credit to Lees!
As promised, Year 3 have now finished their Dragon Heads and they are looking great. Well done Year 3!
Yesterday afternoon Year Three, braved the cold and wet weather to do an archaeological dig in the school field. Dr Douglas Bones from the archaeological society had personally written to us, saying that there might be some Viking relics buried in our school field. He sent us a map where he thought the relics might be.
Mr Townsend and Miss Revell were a bit sceptical (Vikings living in Lees?) but to everyone’s surprise we weren’t disappointed! We unearthed lots of treasure, including: coins, jewellery, pots, jugs, horns and some carved figures.
Today we have been recording our finds and doing some research on them. We are going to write a report for Dr Bones. Here’s what the children have discovered.
“We have found out that the carved figures were used in Viking board games.” Jack
“On one piece of jewellery has seashells in it. We know the Vikings traded in seashells.” Addison
“The coins were like the ones Wayland our Viking visitor told us about. They had a cross in the middle so that they could chop them in half or quarters.” Evelyn
Well done Year Three. Mr Townsend and Miss Revell are very proud of you.
As part of their topic, Year 3 have created some fantastic Viking Dragon Heads from clay. We will keep you updated once they have been painted. Well done Year 3!
