Invaders and Settlers
Welcome to year 4. In the Autumn term, we have started learning about the Saxons and Vikings. We had an important visitor, ‘Eadric’ (pictured) who was able to tell us all about life during that period over a 1000 years ago. Eadric brought with him some real Saxon artifacts which the children were able to inspect.
The Vikings attack!
The children are learning about the conflicts between the Saxons and Vikings, and how the Vikings were able to sail across the oceans in their rarified longboats to try to take over Saxon Britain. They have not only recreated the amazing longboats but they have upgraded them using modern technology in Design Technology!
Maths
We are looking in detail at Multiplication and Division x ÷
The children are learning about both written and mental strategies for solving multiplication and division problems.
You can check out some maths games here: www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/multiplication-and-division
Mr McLaren’s favourite is the ‘maths fishing’ game.
