The Vikings Have Come to Kirkcolm!

We were thrilled to welcome back Kathryn from History Alive into P1-4 to help make their Viking topic come to life this term! Kathryn, as you probably all know, 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!

Kathryn told the boys and girls all about how life was like when the Viking’s were about and they learned about long houses and their diet and the pillaging activities they got up to… Before then getting stuck right into the props on hand! The children learned 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! ⚔🪓🗡🏹🛡
