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.
This term we have been learning about Vikings. In groups we have been finding out about lots of different things. Our groups have been looking for information about their home life, long ships, what they wore and how their clothes were made, what games they played, what artefacts have been found, what weapons they used and how they were made and their Gods and Goddesses. We have found it really interesting and we are going to make posters on the information we have found.
We have also been making our own Viking Long ships in class which we will be taking home soon!
We are really looking forward to the Nesting & Girlsta Jarl Squad coming to the Tingwall Hall this afternoon as Bobby and Alex are both in the squad!
