P1-4 enjoyed an excellent visit from Kathryn Purchase with her History Alive presentation! A whole morning was spent finding out all about Vikings and the children gained a real insight into what life was really like back then. We found out who the Vikings actually were (the good and the bad ones!), where they came from and where they travelled to. The children found out about what they wore, the types of food they ate, what their homes were like, how they travelled and the hierarchy within the Viking community. This was a real hands-on experience for the children. They got to try on costumes, weave on a loom and even re-enact a Viking battle. A fun day was had by all!
