Kingfisher Class @FP this week we introduced our new English using the Literacy Tree. Our text is a book called ‘Riddle of the Runes’ by Janina Ramirez. We arrived at school on Monday to find Viking treasure and artefacts in our classroom. We had to decode some runes and began thinking about Vikings and what the new text was about. We found out the Vikings in the text had gone missing so we began to investigate. Today we role played characters from the text and looked at dialogue and using inverted commas. We had a lot of fun! Next week we will begin to plan alternative endings to the story. Have a look at some of our work!

In Science we are learning all about materials. We started to examine the properties of materials by investigating hardness. We had a variety of materials and had to design a way to test their hardness and order them from softest to hardest. We scratched the materials with nails to see how easy it was to scratch the surfaces.
