P3 have been enjoying learning about vikings as their topic. Their challenge at home was to make a viking longhouse with any materials they could find, they were also allowed to use natural materials like sticks and hay. Some have moss for the grass and also some have have put detail inside, such as cooking pots and a fire, animals and simple furniture.

The long houses had no windows, so were very smoky. They had just one room, which was shared by the Vikings and their cattle.

If you would like to see some of the longhouses, go to the glass corridor. Everyone who has walked through the the corridor has remarked how well they have been made.

They have also been finding out about how the Vikings made their clothes. They have been dying materials using different substances such as onions, beetroot, berries and turmeric.
