dThe Viking day we had on Wednesday was the best thing in the entire world. We dressed up like Vikings, fought like Vikings and learnt how to live like a Viking. OliviaQ volunteered to be a part of a Viking crew.The man that came in said that his name was Olaf Grimson and that he was a Viking.Olaf asked us if we wanted to be a part of his Viking crew, Olaf said that if we were going to be a part of his crew we had to submit a oath, it went a little like this.”we are Vikings this is what we do, we row, we fight, we steal, we row, we fist, aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.”

The other day a man came in called Ben clark tout us all about Vikings and another thing he told us all about the Vikings would do in battle also he had a shield and he told us to make a wall with our shealds and the other people had to try and hit them with a javaling . And he told us his saga also he passed around a piece of wood and he told us that every two lines represents two years and there was 10 lines so the tree log was 20 years old.Another thing he told us bout his dad when he went Viking but sadly he sad he never came back and he said Tok means thankue.

Yesterday, Year 4 carried out an investigation about whether height affects the length of our bones! After planning our prediction and method, we started measuring each other’s heights and arm span from elbow to wrist. After recording the results, next lesson we will be drawing graphs to present our results!

Here are some photos of us working!

Once upon a time Poppy and her family lived a quiet life in the countryside. Poppy lived far away from her school. Her mum and dad were in superb jobs and Poppy hated her school. Poppy asked if she could go to another school. On her first day an enormous bird called Ruby came, Poppy was petrified. The bird picked her up and strapped her to a piece of rigid wood. She put her on a log which was as black as night and soggy and damp. She tried not to be scared but the bird came closer and she screamed!

On Tuesday we created maps of North America with a twist! We have been learning about the different types of terrain, such as mountains, rivers, deserts and lakes, and instead of simply drawing them, we created them using sweets!

We used licorice laces for the rivers and lakes, yellow glitter for deserts and chocolate raisins for mountains!

Here are some pictures to show what we did!
