Good afternoon everyone, This week in P3a we have learned a lot more about the Vikings. We found out about some of the Viking rulers, what they were known for and where they travelled and then drew ourselves as a Viking ruler. We also learned about the Vikings Gods Loki, Odin and Thor through some catchy songs that we all can’t stop singing! Comparing the Viking’s runes letters to our alphabet, we decoded some words as well as making our names and our own words.

In Numeracy, we have focussed on our number bonds to 20 and also practised more missing number calculations. We’ve learned how to play a new board game which helps us practise our addition to 20. We have started to learn how to exchange tens for hundreds while using the HTU rods and cubes.

In PE we have started learning some ball skills, throwing catching dribbling and kicking with a basketball and football focus.

In Literacy, we described the snowy scene for our setting, with a focus on using adjectives and openers to make our writing more interesting. We also practised our spelling words by using the Viking’s runes letters which was quite tricky!
