The Vikings

We're looking at the history of the Vikings who began to invade many other countries and make settlements between 700 and 110AD. Here are some good Viking sites that are worth looking at!

Books we are reading

Treasure Hunt

We've been learning about mapping and how to read different maps. This fun Teasure Hunt game uses compass directions and grid references to help you find the treasure. Remember ... you read grid reference numbers by finding the horizontal axis number first (top tip - the numbers along the bottom of the map!)

It's a race against time and be careful of the sharks! Good luck!

Incredible reading book website

Attention parents!

Every now and then you come across a website that is so amazing that it takes your breath away!

The Oxford Owl website is such a site. It has a whole library of English 'ebooks' which the children can read or listen to for free.

They are levelled in accordance to the UK Curriculum and arranged by age group but, most importantly, they have lots of great children's stories.

There's even activites that the children can do once they've read a book to test their comprehension and understanding of the story.

What's more it's beautifully designed and a pleasure to use. Please bookmark this website and encourage your child to go exploring ... they'll love it.

Attention children!

Feeling bored? Got nothing interesting to do? Check out this website - it's amazing, incredible, fantastic and free! Don't forget to play the fun activities after you've finished the story.

Leave a comment telling me which books you've read. Tell me what you liked about the story and if you'd recommend it to your friends. 

The Time is Now!

We've been learning to tell the time in maths lessons. We've learnt about analogue and digital time, quarter past, half past and quarter to. We've also been solving time word problems.

Go to this webpage to play some great time games. I recommend 'Stop the Clock' to see how fast you can match analogue and digital time. Clockworks by the BBC is great fun and has different levels of difficulty.

Puppet Myths

We have worked in groups to make short puppet movies using some of our myths. We drew the characters from our stories and turned them into simple puppets. Then we rehearsed the stories using a narrator and character voices. Then we filmed our myths using lights and different settings.

Be sure to watch them all!

Welcome back to school!
