This has been an amazing week for P4! We have had so much fun that it felt like a short week.
It kicked off with a Vicious Viking visit which we really enjoyed!! We learned so many new things and loved getting to see some of the weapons, jewellery and different animal skins.
We would like to share some of the interesting things we learned with you:
“The cheapest weapon was the club and it caused the most damage even when chainmail was involved!” – Adrin
“The Vikings washed their white clothes in ammonia (which is PEE) to keep them clean!” – Hannah
“The sword was very rare because of how expensive they were.” – Haseeb
“It took 25,000 crushed sea snails to make enough purple dye to make a dress.” – Ailie
“The woman kept a knife in their pocket in case they were attacked at home.” – Evie
“Some of the jewellery had a cross on it but when you turned it upside down it looked like Thor’s hammer.” – Brooke
After our exciting visit we decided to use what we had learned to make our very own Viking weapons and jewellery. We wrote newspaper articles about our visit and hope to make the into a class newspaper!
In maths, we have been learning about division in the standard form. This proved to be very tricky in the beginning but we are more confident with it now! We have enjoyed using sumdog, board games and written tasks to help us learn.
In preparation for our sacraments, we were learning about different Saints including Saint Vincent De Paul, Saint Margaret and Saint Francis of Assisi.
We have been preparing for our class assembly which is next Friday morning and will be focussing on Lent.
Some of our classmates participated in World Thinking day and enjoyed wearing their Brownie uniforms to school.
Have a great weekend, Miss Diamond, Miss Crookston and P4!
