Year 4 History - Was King Alfred really ‘ Great’?
In our history lesson this week we have been studying Alfred the Great. We were learning about the threat that the Vikings posed to the Anglo- Saxons, exploring sources for bias and deciding whether or not Alfred was a ‘great’ king. The children watched several clips in order to gather information about King Alfred and recorded their notes on whiteboards. Next they discussed key questions as to why he became king, which parts of England he ruled and who were his enemies. We found out lots of key facts and then added these to our sheets. We now know that King Alfred only became king as his two other brothers died and he was next in line, he ruled Wessex as it was the only kingdom left and Guthrum the Viking Leader was his arch enemy.
Reception: Outdoor Fun
Reception class are really lucky to be able to access the MUGA and outdoor gym during their continuous provision time. They have practised their fundamental skills and also learnt how to share and take turns.
Year 6 Music with Junior Jam
Another fantastic Junior Jam music lesson for Year 6, this week! The children have continued their work on scales and chords, learning more about terms such as: sharp, flat, major and minor. Their main task was to learn a section of the theme music from the “Harry Potter” films. Some children played for the rest of the class.
