Weekly English Tasks (plus daily reading) (to be done in any order) 

Writing Task  This link will take you to a complete unit of work which is to be completed over two weeks as it is most comprehensive and will take you through various tasks which build up to a final piece of work - very similar to the process we use in class. Please take your time to check over that each activity is done to the best of your ability before moving on to the next one, as you now know that each one impacts on the next. There is absolutely no rush as you have TWO WEEKS to produce a quality piece of work. Remember to check vocabulary, grammar, spelling and punctuation at each step. Good luck!

Spellings: Generating words from prefixes and roots
As we have been learning in class, etymology relates to the history of words, thereby finding word origins and their meaning. Thinking about the word: arachnophobia, arachno being the prefix and -phobia being the root, arachno comes from the Greek word arachnid, meaning spider, and phobia comes from Greek -phobos, meaning fear or dislike. Therefore, we have the word arachnophobia, from Greek origins, meaning fear or dislike of spiders.
Activity: what other 'phobia' words are there?
List them in a table giving the word, prefix, root, origin and meaning:

WORD                 PREFIX        ROOT        ORIGIN          MEANING
Arachnophobia    arachno        -phobia      Greek and      Fear of spiders

                                                                    Greek

I wonder who can generate the longest and most accurate list? Remember to take care with spellings!

Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks

History - How did the Vikings fight?

Listen to, and read, the information, then complete these two activities:

1. Draw a berserker and label his weapons and armour

2. Compare a Viking longboat and a knorr. Write an explanation sharing the differences and explaining why those differences were necessary.

Science - This week you are encouraged to complete as many exciting experiments as you can from a list of twelve! They are all Physics based and use every day objects, many from the kitchen. Look at the explanations carefully for each one, trying to spot the scientific vocabulary, and make a 'dictionary' of the terms you find. On the 'Lava Lamp' activity, you are asked to use peanuts, but I used raisins which are perhaps safer and more interesting due to their irregular shape. HAVE FUN and send in your pics! 
Exciting experiments

DT - Make a Viking longboat or a Viking piece of armour - here are examples but feel free to design your own. Again, have fun and send in your pics!

Viking shield ideas

French- Hello Trent class,

Can you please use the C”est Moi example below to help you produce your own.

I have added posters showing months and seasons of the year and star signs to help you with the people you live with.

Also please revise and spell numbers 10 to 100 in French.

See images below to help you.

Merci

Mrs Mackintosh

Picture News - 

Story: The sale of video games has increased by 44% in the UK during the lockdown period.

Question:  Are video games the next best thing to our real lives?

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session
