What a great week we have had!
P.E
We continued learning different skills in gymnastics. This week the children were supporting one another while learning how to safely do handstands, cartwheels and forward rolls.
Numeracy
We continued discussing our number strategies in number talks. The children were given the challenge to come up with different strategies to make or get to a variety of 3-digit numbers. We have also been using number strategies to helps us with our multiplication. Repeated addition is a popular choice!
Maths
We were used a holistic approach this week in time. We were using real life situations and story telling to practice telling the time. We even explored using the 24hr method of telling the time. The children were great at this!
Topic
We have been investigating the routes that the Viking took from Scandinavia during the great invasion. The children labelled maps of the United kingdom and Scadinavia to show where the Viking homelands were and where they invaded. 
We also identified different societal roles within the Viking community. Ask them all about it. The class were asked what role they would prefer in this community and of course the majority wanted to be a karl, this means free!
Literacy
We finished this week working on our informal letter writing skills. The children wanted to write a letter to thank Fiona at Morrisons in Carmondean for a fantastic tour during our last participation Friday. We used paragraphs to space out the different sections of our letter.
I can’t wait for next week!
