1 hour per week. There will be an optional homework set after each class. Often it will be to carry on the writing or reading techniques that we have learned in the lesson, however, sometimes there will be bespoke homework. If students choose to do this and then upload their work to the classroom, I will be more than happy to provide them with feedback.Assessment

Vikings- Immersion Lesson

Vikings - Beowulf Saga- Introduction
Inference and Prediciton Other Details
Parental Guidance
The video clips and content of the lessons that are about the Viking Saga Beowulf are gruesome and some younger students might find them scary. There is also violence in the saga (all the clips used are cartoons and the text from the book is read) This is true to how the Vikings told their stories and is a real representation of Viking sagas.
I summarise each video clip after it is shown, so if the student chooses not to watch that part they can still keep up with the content.
Pre-Requisites
Children can start on this unit but it would benefit them to have taken unit 1 of these set first.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
You do not need to buy the book Beowulf (by Micheal Morpego) for this unit but it will heighten children's enjoyment of the unit if you do.

For over 15 years now, I have been working as a teacher in mainstream British primary schools (with children aged 4-11). In my role, I have worked with a range of children, from those with additional needs to children whom have been classified as gifted and talented.
For 10 years, I have been the head of English at two different schools, where I have had the responsibility for driving progress and achievement. My focus as a teacher and a leader has always been to help children reach academic excellence through exciting and innovative lessons.Reviews
