Our topic, this half term, is Savage Saxons and Vicious Vikings! We will be learning all about who these settlers were and why they decided to come Britain. Along the way, we will discover more about their life through ancient artefacts, research about their lifestyle and understand about leaders within their tribes.

Honeybee’s Home Learning 

Each half term, we will send out these bingo grids for you to complete at home. Tick off an activity once you have completed it. It would be lovely to see any pictures or completed pieces of homework! 

Other home learning activities summer are:

• Read to an adult at least 4 times a week and record this in your home learning book- you will get a honeybee token every week if this is logged in your planner! 

• Practise your spellings. Can you use each spelling in a sentence? Can you give the definition of each spelling?

• Practise all times tables up to 12 x 12. Can you answer quick fire questions in and out of order? Go on Mathsframe and try to beat you score out of 25.
