P4’s Viking Assembly

On Friday 24th of February, P4 did an assembly about the Vikings. In the assembly there were two daughters, two sons, Viking men, Viking women, monks, listeners and saga tellers. It all starts when a father tells his sons, “Well my sons, say goodbye to your sisters, life will NEVER be the same again!” The father is taking his sons a-Viking. The two sons were happy but the two sisters weren’t happy. The Vikings sailed on a longship to Lindisfarne to raid for the first time. After the raid, they enjoyed themselves by listening to stories told by saga tellers by the fire. After the stories the Viking woman chatted about their lives. “I hate doing all the work,” said one. “I agree,” said another, “but I like being in charge of the money.” After that some different Vikings told us some facts about Vikings and words we still use today for place names. To finish the show we did a song called You Can’t Forget About the Vikings.
