Thank you for attending our Viking Assembly, we all really enjoyed sharing our learning with you.
A few weeks ago, we spent a wonderful story telling afternoon with Tom Muir. We really enjoyed hearing tales from the sagas, local myths and legends, we've continued to read the Orkneyinga Saga as we explore Vikings.
Janette Park came in and helped us find out about local Viking place names, we managed to break down the meaning of places and locate them on local maps.
A special visitor came into to share his experience of being part of the Scalloway Fire Festival last year. We were fascinated to hear about how they make their squad uniforms and what they did.
We've investigated the runic alphabet and we can use it to write runic messages.
This week, we explored Viking jewellery and designed a piece of Viking jewellery and made it using clay.
In PE, we've been developing our understanding of Growth Mindset, reflecting on how our mindset helps us tackle new challenges and respond to challenging situations. In PE, we're focusing on ball control skills with a big focus on hand and eye coordination. We're thinking of ways to challenge ourselves by adding in extra steps.
This week, our Jigsaw session was all about our heart and lungs. We were fascinated to find out how many times you breath and how many times your heart beats every day.
