VIKING HOUSES

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.
