Here are a few of the skills that we’ve been learning and developing this week.

We were learning about who the Vikings were and where they came from. So to demonstrate, we used our mapping skills to show the Viking routes from Scandinavia to Britain.

During our Big Reading lesson, we worked in trios to identify and text mark any description of the Grandma from George’s Marvellous Medicine. We then created our own character descriptions.

Today we were writing diary extracts as though we were Grandma as a girl. Here we are peer assessing to help our friends edit and improve their writing.

The third part of our Forest – themed artwork. Today we used sponges to print an impressionist canopy of leaves .

Learning about place value is fun when you can put your own number into the correct place in a number line. We all thought of numbers up to one hundred at first, then extended our numbers into the thousands.
