Year 5, we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon learning all about Viking invasion and settlement in Anglo-Saxon Britain. We were able to try some traditional Viking foods, such as buttered turnip and honey flapjacks, handle some replica artefacts and watch a re-enactment of combat. Most of all, we enjoyed handling the shields, axes and swords (all blunt, of course)! A huge thank you from all of us to Tom and Ash for giving up their time to share their enthusiasm about this period of history with us.
