February has flown by and it has been non-stop in P4a. We have been incredibly busy in all areas of our learning but some of our highlights include starting our class novel ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ and linking it into our Social Studies topic on the Vikings. We have been learning all about the fictional viking called Hiccup and his adventures whilst learning about the history of the famous Vikings and the history of their life and invasions. We have created viking shields and brooches as part of our art lessons and are looking forward to trying to build a viking ship in the middle of our class too!

We decided, as a class, to enter the BBC 500 Words story writing competition, an annual competition set to encourage children to write creatively. We have all written our own imaginative stories, typed them up and sent them off to be judged. Simply by entering, we have all been entered into a prize draw to win books for our school and a trip to Buckingham palace. We have our fingers and toes crossed!

We are also looking forward to inviting our parents into our class on Tuesday 10th of March to see all the amazing things we have been learning. More details to follow on that soon.

We will be back with an update at the end of March. 🙂
