• Year 5 Viking Day

  Tue 30 Nov 2021

  On Tuesday 30^th November, Year 5 had an exciting Viking Day.

  Everyone dressed up as Viking warriors and all our activities for the day were linked to the Vikings. The children learnt about the famous Viking Raid on Lindisfarne – where the Vikings crossed from Scandinavia to Northumberland and stole many riches from the monasteries. This left the monks at the mercy of the ruthless Viking warriors! The children looked at a variety of both primary and secondary sources to discover what happened.

  In Geography, the children learnt about the physical and human features of Scandinavia and made comparisons with areas of the United Kingdom. The children made colourful shields using a variety of materials and also explored Viking names.   

  During the day, we also learnt about the ‘Viking Runes’ and wrote messages to each other using the runic alphabet.

  Following on from our Viking Day, Year 5 are now very keen to delve even deeper into this fascinating period of British history.

  

• Year 4 Roman Day

  Tue 30 Nov 2021

  The Romans have invaded!!

  Year 4 had a wonderful Roman Day recently. The children made a fantastic effort with their costumes. We had gladiators and soldiers to emperors and empresses.

  The children took part in four different activities throughout the day. First, they worked hard to make their own Roman shield.

  Then, the children became code breakers and cracked different codes using their knowledge of Roman numerals.

  In the afternoon, the children learnt about and designed their own mosaic pattern. And in the final event of the day, the children learnt the famous Roman battle formations. Children then went out onto the playground and practised them using the shields they made earlier in the day.

  The children thoroughly enjoyed their day as Romans.

  They came, they saw, they conquered.
