Viking Day

Year 4 enjoyed a very busy, fun filled Viking Day on Friday. The children learnt lots of facts about Vikings, their transport, raids, battles, settlements, jobs, entertainment and living conditions.

The children have been …

  • handling weapons, tools, armour and other resources from the Viking period
  • trained in Viking battle drills
  • identifying the uses of various Viking artefacts
  • exploring the lives of Viking children
  • playing Viking games
  • looking inside of a Viking longhouse
  • learning about Viking beliefs and legends, crafts and skills, and the roles of men and women of the era
