What do you know about the Vikings?

We have had a fun week and have enjoyed playing in the snow. We started our new topic on The Vikings. We have learned that they didn’t really have horns on their helmets. To relax they liked to swim, wrestle and play football. They made ice skates out of bones to play in the snow. The boys learned to fight from an early age and the girls learned to cook, spin and weave.
In maths we have been learning about shape. We thought about lots of different uses in everyday life for 3D shapes. For example, a ball is the shape of a sphere so that it rolls and a toblerone is the shape of a triangular prism!
In numeracy, we learned about area. You can count the squares of a shape to measure its area.
We enjoyed Scottish country dancing with Mr Jeffries in P.E. and the girls had to dance with the boys!
Have a lovely weekend.
