Class River have been immersed in Viking culture today as part of their history topic. Viking Bjorn visited our school to tell us about his life, his Gods and his warfare!

He began by telling us about Dane, Norse and Swedes and about why raiding was so popular. We heard stories of the creation of Midgard and helped Bjorn to tell stories about the Viking Gods; Thor, Loki and Freya.

We had a meeting in the longhouse exploring Viking food, community rankings and games. We were fantastic at solving riddles!

We handled replica artefacts and learnt about their purpose and design.

After lunch, we had a weapons and armour display, and practised raiding, marching and tactics. We even raided Class Stream!
