We have been learning about the Vikings and have found out lots of interesting facts. Did you know they first invaded Britain in 793? We have enjoyed learning about Viking homelife, in particular what they wore and what foods they ate. We investigated the Viking alphabet and we made Viking runes using clay and carved our names on them.
Viking Ships
Our favourite part has been learning about Viking ships. There were different sizes of ships and they could carry between 30 and 60 people. They built their ships in a very skilled way so they could sail up narrow rivers and survive in the oceans. Therefore, the Vikings
were excellent carpenters and engineers as well as invaders.
In class we researched the true measurements of a Viking ship then we went outside and used chalk to draw it on the ground. We made detailed drawings. For our homework task we made 3D models of Viking ships.
Your 3D models look fabulous!
I have had a very interesting time on our Viking topic ! I have learned so much new facts I didn’t already know. My favourite part was about the Viking home life , I liked to see the different techniques they used to earn there food , clothing and others.
