Term 1 

This term Viking class have been focussing on our theme: 'Who are we?' Focussing on our central idea of Community and exploring the different communities in which we belong to including our family, school and the wider community in New Ash Green. 

Viking students have undertook research tasks in order to find out what is missing within the community and decided on implementing a Phase 3 Tuck shop .  This has included visiting New Ash green shopping centre in order to research a variety of products that could be sold in our Tuck Shop, looking at pricing, and advertisement. 

They have also designed their own logos and looked at how to use persuasive language in English lessons in order to pitch their ideas to the senior leadership.  In maths we have been looking at Place Value and exploring the range of manipulatives that  can be used to support their learning including interactive games. 

Vikings ended the term with a fantastic Community themed activity day, where they visited an array of 'shops' and ' facilities' inspired by real places in the Village throughout phase 3. Some of the activities included an open mic hall, a mocktail bar where they chose and created their own smoothies, and they attended a workshop in a dance studio.

Viking class have also participated in Horticulture lessons, working on their gardening skills, learning about how to care and nurture seeds in order to produce their own food. Looking a local produce and the types of environments needed for a successful growth.
