As part of our topic work on Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, we learnt about the Viking runic alphabet. Did you know that the Vikings believed Odin sacrificed one of his eyes for knowledge of the runes? Vikings who could read and write were very respected in their communities! What do you think our runic messages say?
Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!
