CHILDREN MAKE VIKING HOUSES
AT DALBEATTIE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Exclusive by Fraser Campbell
The P3/4 children made mini—Viking homes. It took them a long time but they finished it. Some of them thatched the roof while others planted sticks in ground and then slid art straws through. The way that they thatched was with straw and card. They cut the straw and placed the straw on the card “Well it was not easy,” said the children. It was really brilliant fun. I thought they all looked great.
