To start our History topic ‘The Vikings’, Year 4 welcomed a visitor from the local museum. They completed a workshop were they looked at different artefacts from Viking times including a helmet, sword, and spindle. The children were able to discuss what happened in Viking times and got some key questions answered like, ‘Why do longboats have dragons on the front?’ and ‘Were females allowed to fight?’ Some children were given the chance to try on Viking clothes and to use a spindle to make wool. Visits like this are a great way to support children's learning.
