We have been learning about how men and women dressed during the Viking period. Viking clothing was not just made to survive in harsh climates but was also worn to show status, appearance and to be comfortable. Different clothing was worn for different occasions. Sometimes it was worn to show off wealth while other times it was worn for practicality.

We worked in groups to research Viking fashion and design our own Viking clothes. We had to consider their role within society and which clothes would be appropriate for them. We also had to consider where the materials used were sourced from and whether we still use them today.

We used a range of materials including silk, leather and wool. We cut them out in the shape of clothes and glued them onto the body outline on paper.
