"Viking were enormous roaring burglars with bristling mustaches, who sailed all over the world and took whatever they wanted."
How to be a Viking, Cressida Cowell
But is this an accurate representation of a Viking?
Why, why not? |
Art
Our collages are almost ready to construct. Our ships and background are finished and we have started to paint our sails. We learnt how to create different shades of the same colour by adding and white or black. We then carefully painted our sails to make them look 3D!

Counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s!
In maths we have been practising counting on and back in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s. We are now fantastic at describing sequences that can start on any number!
Have a look at our counting in 2s, 5s and 10s numberlines which we helped Miss Brocklehurst to make!

This fun video from Mr DeMaio on YouTube is a fantastic way to practise counting in 3s! Join in with the chorus to the tune of Uptown Funk!

Science
In science this half term we have been learning about the seasons. 
We have talked about what we can see in the different seasons and the changes that happen including daylight hours.
We have moved on to discussing "What is weather?" and this week, we have started to monitor the changing weather using our DIY weather station. |

In art this half term we have been working on a multi-media collage. So far we have explored lots of different ways of painting with water colour including wax resist, blending and splattering!

Here are some of our seascapes so far:
Next we have been working on our dragon ship. We carefully sketched out the ship in pencil, designing our own dragon for the prow and tail for the stern. We used patterns and colour to decorate our ship and of course the Viking shields on the side. We will be finishing off the wood with water colour paint later.

Talk For Writing
We are enjoying our first Talk for Writing text - The Magic Porridge Pot. We have drawn our own story map and practised retelling the story with actions.

We love working together...
...especially in maths. Here we are on Roald Dahl Day, solving some problems involving the characters from those famous stories! |

Where did the Vikings come from?
We enjoyed looking closely at the Atlases to find the Scandinavian countries where the Vikings came from. "We know that they must have been cold because they are so far away from the equator!" |
Code Breakers
In our topic lessons, we have been learning about Viking runes. Here we are trying to write our name and send messages to our friends.

We've even created some of our own rune stones out of Plasticine!
