Primary 3/4 Viking Visit

Viking Visit

P3/4 go back in time with the Vikings!

Exclusive By Riley Porter

Last Thursday P3/4 had an exciting Viking visit. When we opened the door we were met by funny Vikings. Some of us got to dress up as people in the story Simon told us. He also told us about lifestyle in Viking times. A corner of the classroom was turned into a Viking home. Later on we pretended to row a long ship to raid other countries. Mrs Anderson split the class into three groups of seven. The first group got to play Viking chess. Next we got to talk to Simon. He told us about how the Vikings weighed the silver to see if it was the same weight as what the other Viking had to get it. Some of the people got to blow the horn and lie in the bed. After that we went to see Eric. He told us about how the Vikings made things out of wood and showed us some of his tools to carve wood. Last of all we went down to the field and they had a battle with all of their weapons. We were all gripped with fear and excitement. It was a fantastic day.
