AutumnTerm learning - Vikings
Our topic this term focuses on the Vikings and migration. We will be learning about where the Vikings came from and their first raid on Lindisfarne; how they travelled and traded far and wide on longboats; the discovery of the Vale of York hoard; Danegeld; The Battle of Hastings and what happened as a result of the battle.
Our English work will be based on texts related to the topics, such as How To Train Your Dragon, The Arrival and A Story Like The Wind.
