We are following that with a short unit of non-fiction writing about the Vikings and a week of poetry writing on emotions.

In maths this half term we are

• revisiting place value, working with numbers to 10,000,000 
• working with all four number operations (+ - x ÷) including problem solving and reasoning

• Why did they come?
• How can we get around?
• Can we find an easy target?
• Where shall we settle?
• could I live like a Viking?
• How do I become a warrior?
• How do I get to Valhalla?
