We were thrilled to welcome back Kathryn from History Alive into P1-4 to help make their Viking topic come to life this term!\u00a0 \u00a0And as added bonus, Primary 7 got to join in too, while P6 were away at Operation Safety.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kathryn, is a history expert with all the props that helps to really get the pupils to understand what life was like for Vikings in that time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kathryn told the boys and girls all about how life was like when the Vikings were about and they learned about long houses and their diet and the pillaging activities they got up to.<\/em><\/p>\n

They all enjoyed getting their hands on all the props.\u00a0 The children learne<\/em>d about the helmets and (thankfully fake) weapons as they got to grips and they really enjoy this session of roleplay! Putting their new found mindsets to use, they went outside and engaged in a little Viking war cry! \u2694\ud83e\ude93\ud83d\udde1\ud83c\udff9\ud83d\udee1<\/em><\/p>\n
