Life as a Viking child……

In numeracy we have been learning to subtract using number lines and some concrete materials. We also learnt to count up from the smallest number to the bigger number. In Maths, we have been learning to copy symmetrical patterns on squared paper. It was quite challenging. We also played a game where we had to help Caleb rescuing him from roboids. You can try it here.

In writing, we wrote a diary entry pretending that we were a Viking child. We had to think about the activities that the children would have done during the day. Girls would have helped mum in the longhouse, taken care of the baby, cleaned, cooked, sewed, spun wool and made cloth. Boys would have spent their day hunting, fishing, collecting firewood and practising their warrior skills in case they needed to go into battle when they were older.
With Mrs Mackenzie, we have been learning our songs and practising for the show ‘Eddie the penguin saves the world’.
We also listened to 2 more class talks. Daniel told us about Viking food, including dagmal and natmal which are breakfast and dinner. The Vikings had no lunch!  Artjom told us about longhouses and made an amazing longhouse for us out of real materials!

In PE we had a taster session for netball and hockey which was great fun.
This week we have spent some time with P4b practicing for our assembly. We hope that some of you will be able to join us next Friday morning.
