Lyrics: 'Boudicca!'
Back at the end of the Iron Age
Wife of Prasutagus, fierce with rage
Leads the Iceni with angry shout
Wants to drive the Romans out
Tribal warrior, Celtic Queen
Fiercer than Romans had ever seen
BOUDICCA!
Metal-torc and bright red hair
Tattooed skin and angry glare
Horses thundering, chariot-ride
Thousands of warriors by her side
Attacks three cities with sparks of fire
Burns them into a funeral pyre
BOUDICCA!
(Instrumental verse with body-percussion and percussion - to evoke iron, galloping horses and war-shouts)
Back at the end of the Iron Age
Wife of Prasutagus, fierce with rage
Leads the Iceni with angry shout
Wants to drive the Romans out
Tribal warrior, Celtic Queen
Fiercer than Romans had ever seen
BOUDICCA!
Boudicca! Boudicca! Boudicca! Boudicca! BOUDICCA!
How is the character Boudicca portrayed in the song?
Is the song saying she's a quiet woman?

LC: To predict what might happen from details stated and implied.
Remember...
A prediction isn’t what you want to happen next, it’s what you think will happen next, based on the story.
Stay true to what you know and don’t let your imagination run away with you!

John was out hiking in the woods. Though he had been warned by the man behind the desk at the hotel to wear bells on his shoelaces, and to carry bear repellant, John had gone out into the wilderness unprepared. He was walking along, carefree and humming, when he rounded a bend and in his path there was...
What do you predict will happen next? Why?

Independent Activity
Stephen had just finished building his model of Blackpool Tower out of matchsticks. He had been working away all afternoon, building it up little by little, on the coffee table in the lounge. He had just very carefully placed the last matchstick on top of the model when his little brother Frank dashed into the room.

Challenge
Carol was making a cherry pie. She put her pie in the oven, but forgot to set the timer. Then she left the kitchen and went to clean up her bedroom. While she was doing that, the phone rang, and she sat down on her bed to talk to her best friend. They talked for over an hour, until Carol was startled by a shrill, piercing noise that wouldn’t stop.
