I can’t believe that this is the penultimate week of the year! We have had a slightly different week compared to normal.. But still with plenty of knowledge acquired! 

We have had a big focus on our Vikings unit this week as we have explored their invasion and life in Britain. We learnt about their first attack at Lindisfarne which led to the Vikings targeting Monasteries as they were easy to raid and the Monks didn’t have good defences. We also produced some brilliant fact files on King Alfred the Great. The late King of Wessex was a crucial part of the Anglo-Saxon rebellion against the Vikings. We finished the week by exploring how the Anglo-Saxon/Viking reign in England came to during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. As a class, we created our own version of the Bayeux Tapestry which depicts the story of the Norman invasion and beginning of the Norman era in Britain. 

We are looking forward to the final week of Year 4 next week, with swimming booked in for the final day next Friday. Enjoy the sun
