Coten End Primary School

17th October 2022

In History this week we have been understanding how the country was divided up between the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons following a treaty written by Alfred the Great.  We have used atlases and maps to locate modern day towns and cities whose names are from the Viking era, such as Selby, Margate and Scunthorpe.   This week, we will be working on a final piece of work in which we will be independently researching life in the Danelaw, and understanding more about Viking trade.

In English, we are working on our newspaper reports about the famous attack on the Anglo-Saxon monastery, Lindisfarne. We will be demonstrating lots of key skills in this text, including subordinating and coordinating conjunctions, as well as direct speech.

We are continuing our work on the Taking Care Project in PSHE, and have been creating our Network Hand of trusted adults we can talk to if we feel unsafe or have our Early Warning Signs.  We have also spent some time reading stories and carrying out research into Black History Month.

In Maths, we will soon be moving onto Multiplication and Division, as our unit on Addition and Subtraction is coming to an end.  If you would like to remind yourself of the written methods for these types of calculations, please refer to the Parent Information Pack in the Year 5 Information Evening section.

Our Geography lessons have focused on understanding lines of longitude and latitude, including the Greenwich Meridian Line.  We have looked at time zones and worked out the times in different locations.  We have also been looking at maps to understand how to read contour lines.
