Around the World Week in 6 Blue – Scandinavia

Mrs Sanders

For Around the World Week in 6 Blue we based our learning on the book ‘Tomten’ by Viktor Rydberg. After reading the book we created a double page spread about the Tomte creatures. Using what we found out about a tomte, we created a character profile in the style of a WANTED poster. We then used Geography skills and located Scandinavian countries and identified geographical features. 6 Blue then had the chance to be creative by using upcycled materials to create their own traditional tomtes and create a piece of art based on the Northern Lights. Linking this to SMSC 6 Blue created a double page spread, showcasing how and why different religious festivals are celebrated.
