This week, year 5 were lucky enough to be visited by a Viking expert. The children were captivated by his historical stories and facts. They got to try on replica helmets and feel how heavy iron weapons would have been back in AD793 when the Vikings invaded Britain. The children impressed the expert with their knowledge of Viking Gods and he handed out lots Dojo points for correct answers. The visitor also taught the children about ship burials and the diet of the Vikings – many children were shocked to find out that dolphin and sheep brains could be found on the dinner plate!
