This half term Rowan class have been learning all about the Vikings.
Vikings lived in a long, narrow building called a longhouse. Most had timber frames and thatched roofs. Viking jewellery was beautifully made, using materials ranging from gold to simple animal bones. Both men and women loved wearing jewellery. In battle Vikings fought on foot. They wore iron helmets, chain mail armour, and carried swords, axes, spears and wooden shields. Viking long ships were used in battle, and were long, light, and slender so they could move around quickly.
We have been learning about the Viking voyages and battles by creating our own Viking equipment and vessels.
Well done Rowan class!
