Wow! What another busy week we have had. There seems to be no end to the fun we have in school.
On Monday we had a visit from Vikings who came from Scandinavia. They introduced themselves as Thorgrim, Skulkey and the lady had an unusual name which we can’t quite remember.
Finlay: ‘they introduced us to the language they spoke, called Norse, which sounded very odd to us’.
Abi: ‘Charlie from the other class was dressed up as a Konungr. Finlay, Jay, Lauren and Mrs Wassell took part in the story that the Vikings made up. It was Finlay and Jay’s birthday and they went out hunting wild boar and Jay managed to kill the wild boar but Finlay chose the wrong weapon and was struck by the wild boar in the stomach and died a slow painful death!
Joshua: ‘after the story of the wild boar the Vikings showed us their weapons and how they used them in battle’.
Marcella: ‘the Vikings were fighting with the weapons and enacted a battle’.
We had such fun and it was a great way to learn.
On Tuesday we attended our assembly at the Lanthorn which was about Fair Trade Fortnight and how we can help the farmers overseas to get a fair price for the products the grow.
Charlie: ‘I was apprehensive about singing the song and saying my words’
In writing we wrote a news report about our Viking visit. We pretended we were reporters and we tried very hard to use adjectives and interesting sentences with alliterative headlines.
In maths we have been looking at division and the process of dividing a big number into 2,3,4,5,6 and 7. We had to work hard to concentrate so we could work out the answers.
On Wednesday we made Viking weapons of our own. We looked in detail about the designs of the weapons and how the more intricate the design on the weapon, the wealthier the clan was.
On Thursday we discussed Gods creation and how He made Adam and Eve to form a relationship with one another because God did not want man to be alone. We focused on how important it is to look after one another and be kind to each other and only say nice things. If we are kind to each other we build positive relationships which results in us being happy. We know that we work our very best when we are happiest.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend
P4/5, Mrs Dunse and Mrs Wassell
