English - Create a Viking character and a magical object.
We have spent the last week getting to know some Viking gods and goddesses and other beings from myths such as Hriedmar the dwarf, Thrymm the giant and Gerda the frost giantess.
Task 1 Watch some more Viking myths. This site below has some super Viking myths for you to watch and enjoy! Watch to get ideas for your next task.
Task 2 Create a being from the Viking cosmos.
I would like you to create your own viking god or goddess. Or your character could be a wicked elf from Alfheim or a type of giant - it is up to you. Draw them and describe them using similes and extended noun phrases as we always practise in class when describing.
Task 3 Draw or make a magical object that your character may own.
I have given you ideas below. What power does your magical item possess? Why is it so special? Where is it found? Is it lost? Has someone stolen it?
Bring in your drawings or creations on THURSDAY on our dress up day, to share with and show the class.
Ideas for items:
golden apple, silver pear, ring, marble, sword, bowl, stone, crystal, plant, stick, key, candle, ball, coat, jewel, shell, cloth
Music
It is 2 weeks until our Clarinet performance - we need to practise lots at home. Please practise your musical riffs - and if you have been given an improvisation, please practise out some tunes at home. Also practise 3 Little Birds and We will Rock you.
