Rowan Class Monday 30th March

English:  Reading Comprehension Activity about the Viking Raid on Lindisfarne (download below).

Maths: Estimating Weight.  Can you find objects around the house and guess their weight in grams and in kilograms?  (Remember 1kg = 1000g).  Give everyone a bag and challenge them to fill it with objects until it weighs exactly 1kg.  Who can get the closest?  Y5 could also look at pounds and ounces and work out how they roughly relate to grams.

History: What made the Viking longboats unique?  DT: Can you create a model of a Viking boat?  Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZOWhLOARSw  Below you can download a printable model of a Viking boat or instructions for making a model one from a cereal box.  You could also use any other materials you have at home to try and design your own model.
