LKS2: Everest
Term 4
Big and strong, powerful and brave, the Saxons wave their battle axes and brandish their swords as they begin to invade Britain’s shores.
Sail back to the Dark Ages, where battles were rife, and fear reigned. Find out about the lives of the Saxons, including how they lived and
where they came from. Meet the bloodthirsty Vikings from Scandinavia – never before had such terror swept the land. Make a Saxon sword or a Viking brooch and decorate it with intricate patterns. Choose to be a Saxon or Viking and trade your crafty goods, but let’s keep it cool.
We don’t want a fight breaking out. Are you ready to shine a light on the dangerous and deadly Dark Ages?
For our exciting new topic Traders and Raiders, we are jumping straight into battle with a memorable experience creating a Viking Longship – we can’t wait to see your creations!
We will be exploring the exciting text ‘The Saga of Erik the Viking’ for our Demonstration Reading text and will be looking at all the exciting and unfamiliar language linked to our topic.
We will be using the Writing Rainbow to enhance our writing using Jane Considine’s ‘The Write Stuff’ and will once again be zooming in and out on a variety of exciting lenses to develop sentence skills. This will be based initially the legend of ‘Beowulf’ which links incredibly well with our topic.
To aid fluency and comprehension in reading we are continuing to use Hooked on Books, which has helped the children to really immerse themselves in the text and come up with thoughtful, insightful and in-depth responses to particular language choices made by the author. We will be beginning with the text “There’s a Viking in my Bed” by Jeremy Strong.
