Autumn Term 2026.
In English, we will start by revising and consolidating key punctuation, sentence types and grammar before beginning our first text, Odd and the Frost Giants. This lovely adventure story follows the story of Odd as he takes up a Viking quest to Asgaard, the home of the Norse gods. The world of the gods is full of mystical and magical surprises. The book will really support our narrative writing and also link beautifully with our History topic.

In Art, we will be workig with textiles and learning how to weave just like an Anglo-Saxon where as Design Techlogy will be focused on using levers and linkages to create Viking themed moving book.
