To parent/ guardian,

In literacy, the year 5's have been writing up an explanation about why the Vikings left their homeland. Throughout our literacy work, we have been including many of our key skills, such as: relative clauses, causal connectives, subordinating conjunctions and similes. We've learnt that they were very strong, brave and fierce warriors and that they were pushed away from their homeland for many reasons as well as being pulled away. 

Now, we are writing it up on fancy Viking paper and when we have completed it, we will put it up on display. All of us, have written four paragraphs, one of them is our introduction, another one of them was our push factors, one of them was the pull factors and the final one was the conclusion. We have enjoyed writing it using all of our key skills. All this will help us on our Viking day!
