This week Pine class have been sharing some of our ideas about bullying, we have written our own class code and promised to help by reporting bullying if we see it happening. We have talked about being kind to each other and being careful not to make jokes that might be offensive to others, as this could be misconstrued as bullying. We wrote some of our own thoughts and feelings on leaves and decorated autumnal trees which we will be displaying in our classroom.
Today we have also had fun learning about Viking warriors. We used empathy and imagination to pretend that we were Saxon Monks at the famous monastery of Lindisfarne on the day of the first Viking raid! We loved using our adventurous vocabulary to describe the bloodthirsty warriors, their armour glinting in the candle light and their blood stained, rusty swords! We have produced some fantastic diary entries and are very proud of our writing.
Here are some quotes from our work:
“I was super scared, the vicious Vikings were heading straight towards me with their sharp swords and shining helmets.”
“Despite seeing all my closest friends slaughtered, I managed to slip away from the deadly and lethal battle!”
