This week your homework is to find out about place names in the local area. Many suffixes of towns and villages come from when the Vikings, old English or the Celts were in our country.

.. …..by, ….ing, ….ington, …..borough, …..thorpe, ….ness, …..beck are Viking suffixes

. ……combe is from the Celts

…… ton; …….ford,……hunt, ……stead, …….ham, are old English.

Make a chart showing place names in our local area ( as far as anywhere in Yorkshire).

Imagine a new town is being  built, make up your own name for it.

Make or copy a map showing some of  these places. Colour code them.

This is due in by next Friday, 19th May.
