Year 5 Viking Day 18th November 2016

Year 5 started the week by making Viking costumes. They were split into groups to dye a pillowcase to make a tabard and then had to also make a brooch, a cloak and belt.

On Friday after putting on costumes the children spent the morning making mini models of a longship and also enjoying a workshop where they were able to handle a variety of artefacts such as a sword, shield, chainmail and a helmet. They then had a look at clothing for men and women, and everyone got a chance to have a go at grinding the grain to make flour and the session finished with a story. In the afternoon both classes marched to the Fairland's lakes and had pictures taken beside the longboat.

Thanks to parents for your help and support, we really appreciate it.
