Pupils asked:
• Who was Boudicca?
• What was she like physically and what was she like as a person?
• What did other people think about her?
• What was her fate and why?

Pupils studied a document and a picture to learn about a historical person through questioning and close observation of written detail.
They built up their vocabulary through the visual representation of feelings.
They read a Nigerian poem which demonstrated the poetic genre, and modelled the genre by writing their own poetry based upon the historical heroine and the Nigerian poem.

There was a strong link between literacy and history. All lessons were taught during the literacy hour.
