P6 enjoyed a great Viking Day today. The children came to school dressed as Vikings and they looked wonderful! They then had the chance to do lots of activities like grinding corn using a quern stone, making sparks using flint, identify various Viking artefacts, weave a bracelet, make a wall from willow branches, writing in runes, play a Viking board game, make spears and learn sword skills.
