This term, we will be asking ‘Were the Vikings Vicious?’
In this unit we will:
- Outline a timeline of the Vikings, highlighting how they interacted with the Anglo-Saxons.
- What routes the Vikings took, and how they exchanged materials and cultures with the places they went.
- Learn how historians know about the Vikings.
- Learn how the Vikings influenced Britain, and the most significant changes which occurred.
In English, we will be reading Odd and the Frost Giants.
Alongside our History focus, we will also learn:
- Multiplying decimals and fractions in Maths.
- Writing to develop our tone and cohesion.
- Portraiture in Art.
- Materials in Science.
- Emotions in PSHE.
Children must continue to read the books they enjoy, everyday, at home, to themselves or to an adult. They should write in their own reading records, and use their ‘Reciprocal Reading’ bookmarks to help them. Adults can sign this, and ask further questions to deepen understanding.
Please remember to go onto Spelling Frame to continue practising at home.
If you would like to contact either Miss Hutchinson or Mr Wells, please do so via the school office.
