The Vikings

Following on from our learning with 'How to Train your Dragon,' we have now started learning about the real Vikings!  We learnt about how and when they first came and settled in Britain.  We looked at the boats they came in and had a go at making our own.  All children worked independently designing, cutting and putting their boat together.  Here are just a few of the finished boats. 

Children have all written their own stories about Hiccup the Viking this week and I have been so impressed with the progress children have showed in their warm writing.  Look out for new wonderful writers next week.

In maths we have concluded our learning on addition for the time being and are going to be learning about subtraction next.  We learnt a range of different games to play with a partner on a hundred square which introduced the concept of subtraction. 

I am looking forward to sitting down with all children next week in our first learning conferences to look at successes and progress already this half term. 

Wishing you all a happy and relaxing weekend,

Mrs McMillan
