As part of our learning about the Vikings, we have looked at the invasion of Lindisfarne in AD793. We discussed what happened and why it happened.

At the moment, we are continuing to read our class Reading book, Cogheart. We are loving it and in the words of some of the children, it’s starting to get ‘juicy’. Today, we read part of Chapter 13 before Miss Gomersall cruelly left it on a real cliff-hanger. From this, we then acted out our …
