Our termly newsletter is below together with the topic web and an updated homework grid.
Please continue selecting items from the Vikings homework grid if you prefer.
We had a great time celebrating the Queen's Jubilee, see the photos of year 5's homemade biscuits and year 5 drinking cold fruit tea infusion from champagne flutes and decaffeinated tea from cups and saucers.
Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
The Vikings
During Summer 1, the class is going to look at all things Vikings!
We will also look at developing our map skills in Geography.
We will start with who the Vikings were, what the Viking raids were, and mapping where they took place. Following this, we will research the Danelaw and how it affected the relationship between the Vikings and Anglo Saxons. We will then look into what life was like in Viking Britain. How it became a unified country and finally the infamous battle of 1066.
Summer 1
Our class Topic this term is the ferocious and fearsome Vikings!
Our class reader is The Boy at the Back of the Classroom by Onjali Q. Raúf, as we had a lot of really meaningful conversations about refugees last term.
