Our learning this week - 13th Oct - 17th Oct

English

This week we have been building ideas for our own 'Viking Saga short story'. We have looked at Odin's creation story to understand the 3 worlds he created and now we are going to write about a 4th world of our choice. The children have begun to plan for their new world and we will look to include noun phrases, prepositions and lots of descriptive language.

Maths

We have worked hard on our new unit of addition and subtraction this week. We have worked on adding and subtracting 1's across the 10's and adding and subtracting 10's across the 100's. The children have worked hard to understand the methods using column method and how the questions can also be represented and worked out. 

Science

The children learnt about the positive and negative impact of human activity on our environment and how that can affect habitats around the world.

PE

This week we continued with football and tag rugby. The children learnt how to apply their skills into small sided game of 3 v 3.

Geography

We looked at the maps both on laptops and in Atlas to learn more about the Viking homelands as well as the seas, population and features of each country. We also explored how the Vikings traded and where the bought and sold items around the world.

PE Kits

Our PE days will be Mondays and Wednesdays. Children will need to be dressed in full PE kit when coming to school. We will be beginning with Tag Rugby and Football.
