A Viking in Disguise!

On Wednesday afternoon a Viking came to Fernielea School! He showed us some cool Viking artefacts and he also brought some animal fur. There were games made out of wood and animal bones, shields, a Viking helmet, a sword, axe and armour.

He told us how Vikings lived and their different jobs. It was fantastic! He also told us all the different names of the Viking gods: Odin, Frey, Freya, Thor and Loki. Odin is Thor’s father and some say Thor and Loki are brothers. In the days of the Vikings, Wednesday was known as Odin’s day , Thursday was known as Thor’s day and Friday was known as Frey’s day.
