We learned about Vikings. The Vikings were fascinating. We learned that Vikings used soapstone. They used it for lamps. The Vikings burned fish oil or seal blubber. Some of the Vikings were farmers. Vikings had animals. They had pigs, sheep and coos. They used them for cooking after they cooked them they ate them. They used the fur and the skins for clothes, cloaks, leggings and shoes. When one of the Vikings died the ones that were alive buried them with their treasure. My favourite bit was how the Vikings dyed the colour of the wool.
