For our topic we have been learning about Viking Gods and we have shared all of the facts that we have learned during our show and tell. We learned that the last Viking battle in Scotland was in October, 1263. We learned this from Neve and Aoife who they shared their exciting experience of a trip to Vikingar in Largs with us.
Hannah enjoyed learning about the Viking Gods and particularly liked Freya. She is the God of love, beauty, fertility, and war.
Ailie enjoyed learning about Frey, who was the god of wind, water, sun, and harvest. He is also the brother of Freya.
We have enjoyed writing about the Vikings during story writing this week too. We have been writing our own Viking sagas, which Mark enjoyed because we were allowed to use our favourite Gods, or make one up using our imagination to be the characters in the Saga’s.
Haseeb enjoyed learning a new topic in maths. We have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and thinking about their lines of symmetry. Jacob enjoyed exploring the different objects and identifying the names of the shapes. Aleksander enjoyed going on a shape hunt, looking for the shapes that match each description.
We really enjoyed PE this week! Charlie particularly liked football. We have been developing our balls skills and focussing hard on team work. We learned how to dribble. It is not as easy at it looks!
Jacob particularly liked working with his team mates during rounders and Haseeb thinks “ROUNDERS IS SO FUN!”
Finally, Evie enjoyed RE because we were thinking about the difference between wants and needs. We drew around someone in our group and stuck things that we need inside or body and things that we want on the outside. This helped us to decide what things to give up for our Lenten promises.
Have a lovely weekend and keep updated by following our blog, from Primary 4 and Miss Crookston.
What a busy week the children have had – I am exhausted reading about everything they have done! The Viking topic has been a big hit, Aoife has thoroughly enjoyed it. She absolutely loved sharing the photos we took with Neve on our visit to Vikingar in Largs. She also mentioned how much she has enjoyed getting out for the “daily mile” this week. Finally, thank you for running the Literacy workshops this week, I found it helpful and it gave me some ideas of different games and books to help with reading/vocabulary at home.
