Viking Day
Today the year 5 children have had a fantastic Viking experience day. Bjorn the Viking provided the children with mind-blowing facts, brilliant quality resources and artefacts as well as memorable experiences. He covered everything from everyday life to battles to the final demise of the Vikings, which the children interacted enthusiastically with.
The running of the day started with the whole year group in the hall to meet Bjorn and awe over the amazing artifacts, then the classes rotated around the different year 5 classrooms to complete a series of games and tasks (including Hnefatafl, Viking diets and more). The day ended with the children having a spear and shield battle and feeling what different Viking weapons were like. Overall, the children had an incredible day and were fully engaged throughout.
