Today we have been learning more about the Viking raid of Lindesfarne. Children have been hot-seating and interviewing fierce Viking warriors and Terrified Anglo Saxon Monks.

Not 1, not 2 but 3 postcards
Patryk and Laci-Maee really have worked their socks off over the last two days, particularly in maths. Homam has been a great crew member today, kindly helping his friends to sort and tidy resources.
Well done 3LS!

How long is 70m?
We have been learning about the Vikings, Anglo Saxons and Normans through the pictures on the Bayeux Tapestry. We found out that it was 70m long. We measured 70m and drew it with chalk. Did you know that’s longer than the front of our school?

LKS2: Off to a Great Start
It has been such a busy four weeks and I have been so impressed by the learning attitudes and behaviour of the children in LKS2.
I have seen great learning from children in Year 3 and 4 in all subjects and the home-learning that has been brought in has been amazing.
It was lovely to get together as a phase for a short phase crew this morning and lovely to award Frazer, Eva , Kiara, and Tim the Pride of Plover certificates – and it was even better to see them in their yellow T-Shirts later in the day.
Well done guys – keep up the great work and we look forward to more great learning next week!

Smart Phonics
Julita has been using her phonics knowledge to correct and improve her spellings in English today. I love your resilience and perseverance Julita. Well done!
Show me a number
Every morning, children are going to āshow me a numberā. Using different resources, children have to find different ways to represent a number.
I wonder if they can do this at home too?

GĆ³Ć°an dag (Good day) from Murton Park!
Year 3 had an amazing day at Murton Park yesterday. We enjoyed dressing up and visiting the Viking village. We all learned lots about the Viking settlers in Britain and found out that they were not just warriors and raiders. We made candle holders, farmed the land, ground wheat for very gritty bread and even guarded the village against a very sneaky Anglo Saxon spy!
Look out for more pictures to follow on the TWITT and a huge Thank you to all our slaves (parents) who also enjoyed dressing up!
We are bakers!
I have seen great team work in the team building sessions I have ran this week. The children had to work together to bake buns for our Plover community. Well done to all children involved this week!

Year 3’s Wonderful Day as a Viking
What a great we have had today! We have learnt so much about how the Vikings lived and we have begun to realise they were not just the raiders that most of the stories would have us believe!
We have lived our day as a Viking – farming, guarding, baking and making goods to trade.
After the last couple of years, it has been brilliant to be out on a Field Trip again and Murton Park has really helped to bring history to life for us, and from the number of children that said they had had the best day EVER, I think it is a day that will live in our memories for a long, long time.
Here’s a sneak preview of the day, but more will follow!
