This week we have enjoyed learning more about the Viking’s culture and daily lives. We used books to complete a research task and answered questions about the food and drinks they ate, the clothes they wore, what their houses were like, and what they did for work and travel. We also created a Viking menu, designed a Viking’s outfit and drew a Viking village.

In Literacy, we have continued practising our new spelling words and reading our books. We also did a writing task, using our senses to describe the setting of a beach. We have also explored different types of nouns and proper nouns and identified these in sentences and used them in our own sentences.

This week in Numeracy we continued our number work and practised counting in tens and adding 10 and multiples of 10 to any number, recognising that only the tens change. With a focus on doubling, we have started to develop more addition and subtraction strategies. Using number lines and 100s squares, we have practised rounding up or down to the nearest 10.
