Spring Term 2025:

To begin our Vikings topic we read the Viking myth, Beowulf about a brave warrior who fought many monsters. We all worked hard to brush up on our basics and began to learn how to punctuate speech, use fronted adverbials to show when and how and select and use noun phrases to add detail.At the end of our unit, some of us were able to ‘stand in the spotlight’ and share our work with the class!
 
In Maths we completed work on Place Value and Addition and Subtraction. We learned a range of methods for doing calculations and lots of different models (pictures) we can use to help us understand and solve problems. These include using place value grids, drawing place value counters and base 10 pictures, bar modelling and making jottings. 

 

In Science we have investigated sound. We learned how sound travels via vibration  through the air to our ears and investigated and tested a range of musical instruments. We worked scientifically by using a datalogger to measure sound in decibels and then we presented our data in a bar graph.

In History we learned about the Vikings. Wayland the Viking came to visit us in school and we learned so much about how the Vikings went from raiders to invaders to settlers. We were lucky enough to examine some Viking artefacts, learn about runes and even make a Viking pot.

We investigated Viking Art and looked at how the Vikings depicted different creatures including dragons in their art then focused on Viking knots, using pencil to draw outlines and shade our knot pictures.

 

We have focused this term on what we learn from religions about deciding what is right and wrong? We have explored the golden rules of religion and compared them.

In Computing we learned about datalogging, using the dataloggers to collect data on light and sound.

In our PE sessions we have continued to develop our swimming skills.

In  French we learned about the four seasons, naming them in French and using simple words and phrases to describe them.
