Reading – Viking Boy

Friday 09 January 2026

This week in Reading, we have been focussing on our new class novel for this term: Viking Boy by Tony Bradman.

Viking Boy by Tony BradmanHistory Man: an interview with Tony Bradman – Books For Keeps

On Thursday, we created Top Trumps cards about the characters that we have met so far. We used our retrieval and inference skills. Retrieval to create a fact file about the person and inference to rate them in each category (strength, bravery, Viking skill, loyalty and importance to the story).

We then played a game of Top Trumps. The children really enjoyed it!

Help at home: Can your child summarise what has happened in the book so far? Who are the main characters?
