Viking Visitor!

Scarlet Class were very lucky to welcome a special Viking visitor into our school this week. He taught us lots about Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We completed an archeological dig and considered what the sources told us about the past from jewellery to weaponry. Mrs Wilson's favourite part of the day was taking part in The Witan - acting as advisors to the Anglo-Saxon Kings of England. We had to strongly voice our opinions and then make a final vote. Our votes tempted the fate of the Thralls, Churls and Thanes. Mrs Wilson was very impressed with our debate skills and reasoning. Plus, we seemed to have made great choices along the way to keep most people happy. A popular day for us was the battle formation and fighting skills practise. We learned how to be great soldiers - strong attackers and defenders. Finally, we ended the day playing tactics in some Anglo-Saxon games from the past. Mrs Wilson and Miss Binney were extremely impressed with our game play. Such clever minds! 

Ask us about our Viking names - they gave us a good giggle in class!
