Social Studies

In class we have been learning about the Vikings. We have learned lots of interesting facts about the Vikings. Here are some of them:

– Viking hats don’t actually have horns on them, it was just a metal helmet to protect your head.

– Viking long ships were also named dragon ships and they could hold up to one hundred and twenty people on them.

Now we want to learn more about how the Vikings made their jewellery and their weapons.

Art

We created pictures of a cloud. First we got a piece of A5 paper and a piece of A4 paper, we then got a cut out stencil of a cloud and traced round it three times. We then made a raindrop shape and put it on the cloud. Finally, we painted the raindrop.
