Topic
We are going to be performing in our Assembly about the Vikings This Friday. The children are keen to dress up as vikings for this and should have come home with some costume ideas. The children have decided that baggy shirts, jogging bottoms and long dresses would be good things.
If the children could bring some of these items by Wednesday or Thursday it would be appreciated.
Some of the children are also keen to make axes and helmets- we will have time to do this in class but if anyone wishes to take this project on at home feel free. The deadline is Friday 22nd April!

Spelling Words for week starting 18
VCOP Homework
(V-Vocabulary,C-Connectives, O-Openers, P-Punctuation)
Choose a book from home and write as many ‘Wow’ words as you can find. Try to find at least 10. Pick one of these words and write a sentence with it in.
Remember a ‘wow’ word is good vocabulary. It is basically a word that is used to make your writing more interesting.
Numeracy Homework
Task 1
All children have been given a zip bag today with the Primary 3 ‘Learn it’ facts we have covered in Primary 3. The idea is that children should learn these and be able to answer them quickly. Therefore if you give them a set time, e.g. 2 minutes and then see how many they can get right in that time. Your child will keep these for the rest of the term and hopefully will gain quick recall of their ‘learn it’ facts. Every Friday the children complete a ‘Beat That’ activity with a different set of learn it facts that they have to answer in a set time and are trying to improve their own score each week.
Task 2
2 x Table Worksheet. Every child was given a worksheet.
All groups have spelling words to learn.
Read chapter one of your new group reading book and be ready to discuss it in your literature circles next week. Also think of five open/fat questions (that can’t be answered with one word) about the chapter.
Due Monday 25th April

In a few weeks we are going to be performing in our Assembly about the Vikings. The children are keen to dress up as vikings for this and will be coming home with some costume ideas. Over this week we will be looking at images of vikings and thinking about the kinds of things we could wear.
