Primary 5/6 have all enjoyed learning about who the Vikings were and where they came from his week .We enjoyed watching video clips on Gogglebox and worked very successfully with a partner to identify  where Sweden, Denmark and Norway . We now know that Vikings were travellers who raided and traded. The first Vikings left their Scandinavia homelands and set up home in other countries . For 500 years , from about 700AD , Vikings ruled the north of Scotland , the Orkney and Shetland islands and the Hebrides off the Scottish west coast . We are really looking forward to learning about Viking customs next week .

Today in school we were very lucky to have the opportunity to take part in a very energetic and exciting dance session . Stephanie from VIP dance taught us all some fabulous moves . We definitely have lots of very talented children .
