Home Learning Packs – P4WN 8.6.20 Week 9
Hello P4WN and welcome to week 9 of term 4.
We had another great Team meeting last week when we played three rounds of ‘Stop the Bus’. Well done to our winners but it was great fun listening to all of your answers and hearing from you about what you have been up to. Our next meeting is on Tuesday 9th June at 10 am. Look out for more information on the Team page.
This week our learning is all going to be based around the theme of ‘Vikings’. The Vikings lived a long time ago and were great adventurers and warriors.
Literacy
- For reading this week you will first need to find out about the Vikings. You can use online books, websites and videos to take some notes and to gather information.
You can use the links below but there are quite a number of other websites you can use too.

- Then you can create your own Viking fact file. You could include the following sections:
- Front cover
- Contents page
- Map – showing Norway/Scotland and other places where the Vikings settled
- Information pages (e.g. houses, clothes, tools/weapons, famous warriors, Up-Helly-Aa, Norse Gods/stories, Viking monsters).
- Take a new page for each one, write some of your information on it, or type it and print it out. Illustrate with your own drawings or using images from the internet.
- 10 fantastic facts page!
You can include anything you find interesting!
Numeracy/maths
The Vikings used their own symbols for numbers. You can see what they looked like by using the link below.
Other civilisations in history had their own numbers such as the Romans and the Egyptians. You can look at these by clicking below.
- Your task this week is to make up your own number system using symbols. You could choose shapes, pictures or even a certain item such as different sweets or toys! It’s up to you. You need to draw them out and label them.
- Once you’ve created the numbers, you can make up different sums/calculations and try them out on somebody in the family but you need to remember that you have to work them out first and have the answers ready!
There is also a new Sumdog challenge this week called add, subtract, multiply, divide!
Health and Wellbeing
- This week you could go on a nature walk/scavenger hunt. You can use the activity sheets below to look for things as you enjoy the fresh air.

- au-t-3745-five-senses-scavenger-hunt-activity-sheet-_ver_1
- You should continue to go outside and do all the fun activities that you enjoy.
Health Week
Our health week is coming up shortly and information will be updated on the separate page on the school’s main website.
- Miss McNab’s weekly challenge is also a great way to keep active and you can find it on the following link to her page on the school website.

Technology
The Vikings made tools and weapons as well as building their famous longboats. Your task this week is to make a 3D model of something the Vikings used or built. You could make:
- a longboat
- a shield
- a helmet
- a throwing axe
- a brooch
You can use craft materials, wood, paper/card, boxes – whatever you have at home. Colour your model in or paint it if you can. Send us a photo of your finished item!
There are lots of ‘How to Make a Viking……..’ on the internet to help you e.g. (you don’t need to order anything!)

Rights Respecting School (RRS)
We are focusing on an article each week and this week’s is:
Article 15
Definition – Article 15 Freedom of association
Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.
Watch this short video by clicking the link below.

Then think about the following questions:
- What can you learn from this?
- How does it link to Article 15?
- You could discuss this with someone in your family.
Hope you all have a busy, fun and healthy week!
