This week the children will be given a science challenge as it is National Science Week next week. The children need to invent a new method of travel for the future. As well as a picture, we would like an explanation of how it works, what it can do and how it would be powered.

This is a part of a competition running in the school with prizes for the best 2 entries for each year group.

Alongside the task above, the children will be set new spellings to be tested next Friday (15th) and will also have times tables rock stars homework.

Below are the spellings for this week.

The Vikings believed in many gods and goddesses. Here are some of the main ones:

Odin – the ruler of the gods. He rode an eight-legged horse.

Thor – the god of thunder. He carried a hammer, and drove a chariot pulled by goats.

Freya – the goddess of love and death. She wore a cloak made of falcon feathers and her chariot was drawn by cats.

For your homework, we would like you to design your own Viking god. Think about the following:

What is their special power? What do they represent? What clothes do they wear? Would your Viking be a hero or a villain? Explain.

Below you will find the homework due Monday 11th or Tuesday 12th of February.

This week for homework we would like the children to create a poster to raise the awareness of staying safe on the internet. Next Tuesday, it is ‘Safer Internet Day’ and with more and more children accessing the internet, we are hoping to create a display out of them.

If they could access times tables rock stars during the next week as well.

Finally, they will be coming home with a new set of spellings due to be tested next Friday (8th February).

Homework is due in either Monday 4th or Tuesday 5th of February.
