  This week we have continued to learn about the Anglo Saxons and the Vikings. We discovered the brutality of the invasions from Scandinavia and will be writing a newspaper report about the events at Lindesfarne. We have created switches for circuits in preparation to create our torches and have discovered why circuits may not work in Science.

  We are looking forward to the trip on Monday to Perlethorpe, where we will meet a Viking and discover a Viking longhouse. Children will need to wear school uniform top and PE bottoms and trainers. Please remember a water bottle and packed lunch (unless ordered from school). I will try to order sunshine!

  What a week!  Four days has flown by.  Today, we have been celebrating King Charles' Coronation.  In class, we have written a non-chronological report about him and explored how long previous Kings and Queens reigned for.  We had a lovely celebration lunch and it was great to have children from Albany Infants with us.  In topic, we learnt about different festivals in Scotland and how they celebrate them. In science, we looked at the difference between dissolving and melting and what happens when some solids are melted.  

   

  Due to the bank holiday, there will be no swimming on Monday but we have set spellings for next week (see below).  Please help encourage your child to learn them.  

   

  We hope you all have a fantastic weekend and will see you Tuesday!

  This week has flown with it only being 4 days but we have been as busy as usual. We have been planning and beginning to write our own stories based on Cressida Cowell's 'How to Train Your Dragon " and have continued to read the Anglo-Saxon saga of Beowulf. In Science, we were able to experiment with Scientific electrical components (wires, bulbs, cells and batteries) in order to make a circuit. Linking to this in DT, torches have been studied- their purpose, the different types, when they may be used and what their casings are like and why. We will be making our version of a torch in a few weeks. The children have been asked to think about what they want their casing to be like. They have studied nets and so could use card, however is there something you have at home that they could use? A kitchen roll, plastic bottle etc...

  Have a lovely extra Bank holiday weekend.
