“Bjorn” from Portals to the Past came to school to teach us all about the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. He told us Viking tales and showed us a map of the routes they took. We completed a quiz by searching for the answer on some information boards and we played a Viking board game. In the afternoon, Bjorn dressed as a Viking warrior and gave a talk about weapons and warfare. We reenacted the Battle of Hastings. Below are a selection of photos from the day.
Did you know? The Vikings did not wear horns on the sides of their helmets – this is a myth. What a fun day of learning we had! |
