Following on from our Anglo-Saxons work, Year 4 kicked off their last topic of the year with Viking Day. A tribe of brilliantly dressed young Vikings arrived at school ready for a day of activities. We created clay runes (Viking alphabet stones), made shields, baked bread and played some tribe (class) games on the field. We also had a very interesting talk from our in-house Viking expert Mr Manning about Viking gods/goddesses, ways of life and beliefs. We got to hold a Viking helmet, sword and chain mail vest, and watched a demonstration of a real axe in action.
Thank you to parents and carers for providing outfits for this day; the teachers had a great time and we hope that the children did too.
