Hi Maple Class,

I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your time at home. This week we are going to be focusing on ‘Vikings’ so you will be doing lots of research and finding lots of new information out. Hope you enjoy learning something new.

You can carry on with ‘White Rose Maths’, the sheets for this week have been uploaded to this page at the bottom, for you to download. They will be uploaded every Monday for the whole week.

Literacy:

On Literacy shed you can watch a video about Viking village, you can watch this and then pick a house and create characters who may live there and what they are like.

You can watch scenes from ‘How to train your dragon’ with this you can describe the village where Hiccup lives and then you could describe the dragons that he sees.

You then could create your own adventure story as a Viking, it could be similar to that of Hiccups or you could change it to make it your own.

 

You can go on to BBC Bitesize daily lessons and complete the English lesson each day, where you can watch the videos and complete the activities.

J K Rowling has a new book that she has put online called the ‘Ickabog’. She also has a competition related to this story where you can illustrate a chapter and if you win your illustration will be put into the book. Here is the link for the book and the competition.

Science:

Vikings were great sailors and often rowed their longships up rivers and across the sea. They also liked sports and tests of strength like lifting heavy rocks and throwing spears. Think about sport that they might have played and look at how it can affect your health.

• How does exercise affect your pulse and breathing rate?
• Why are they affected?
• What else happens to your body when we exercise?
• How would you explain what your pulse is to somebody who didn’t know?

Also have a look at the food Vikings used to eat;

• Was it always healthy?
• Did they have a balanced diet?
• What could have made it healthier?

History:

 

Focus on Vikings this week –

 

You can create an information book. You will need to research:

• Who were the Vikings?
• What did they do?
• What did they have to wear?
• What did they eat?

 

Art/DT:

Keep drawing when you’re on your walks and baking lots of yummy treats.

You could create a Viking village or design a dragon for the film ‘How to train your dragon’, which is set in a Viking village.

Wellbeing:

 

This week’s focus for wellbeing is going to be ‘The five ways to well-being’. Here are the things I would like you to think about each day:
