Year 5 and 6 built a Viking Longboat

Building A Viking Long ship


On the 18th of March Year 5 and 6 built a Viking longship! It was a fun packed day with a variety of different activities such as: building and fastening the ship, weaving, sewing, decorating the figure heads and making authentic Viking shields! COOL! Each Viking shield was the same size as a real one so, to test our strength, we put our bodies to the test and tried a Viking work out. (Turns out none of class five are fit enough to be a Viking soldier.) Even though it is on a ¼ scale, the ship was big enough to hold 10 children! That’s a whole 6 metres!

A few weeks ago we also had a viking day full of fab workshops
