Topic
In History, we have been learning about the Viking and Anglo-Saxon invasions of Britain. We have learnt about Viking raids on Lindisfarne and the modes of transportation used by the Vikings and why they designed longships in this particular way.
Science
In Science, we have been looking at Living Things and their Habitat. We have learnt about the life cycles of living things including the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction in plants.
