Little Tikes UHA

We were very lucky this week as we got to see Little Tikes Up Helly Aa procession. Bobby and Alex got dressed up in their suits from the Nesting & Girlsta Up Helly Aa. It was lovely to see them in their suits again. We watched Little Tikes walk past with their Jarl and their Galley. The Jarl had his squad with him!

After they had walked past we all joined the procession. We then marched to the back of  the school where the galley was taken into a field and burnt. We really enjoyed sharing this with Little Tikes, P1 and all the parents. It was great fun to watch and take part.

Viking Trip to the Museum

We went on a trip to the Museum last week. First, Yvonne showed us the map of Scandinavia. Then she showed us pictures of a Viking Long Ship and a Long House. We went to see the Sixareen. Yvonne told us a Viking Long Ship would be at least twice the size of the Sixareen. We then went to the cabinets to see all the Viking Artefacts that have been found in Shetland and other places. There were two girls from Norway that were dressed in Viking clothes. After we had looked at all these, we had our snack and then we were given clay to make a Thor’DSCN0666 DSCN0669 DSCN0670 DSCN0671 DSCN0674 DSCN0675 DSCN0676 DSCN0677 DSCN0688 DSCN0689 DSCN0691 DSCN0694 DSCN0696s hammer to wear around our neck.
