YEAR 6 - VIKINGS!
Last term, Year 6 delved into the brutal world of the Vikings.
We learnt about who lived in Britain before the Vikings invaded and how some Vikings became Christian:
"Anglo Saxons told stories when they needed to heal someone. The leech was a person who used herbs, lucky jewels and chants to heal people. They believed that there were elves shooting people with arrows, this made people ill. They were Pagans before they became Christians!" - Aarav Khanna
We learnt where Vikings came from and why they invaded:
"The Vikings came from
Scandinavia; Norway, Sweden and Denmark. They settled in lots of different
parts of Britain, like Kent, Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia and Northumbria.
Vikings invaded England because they wanted to steal treasures and gold. But some people believe that the Vikings left
their home as there was a lot of overcrowding." - Megan Hardy

We learnt about Viking beliefs and their Gods:
"Vikings believe that when
they die they can take weapons with them to the afterlife." - Adil Omar
"The
Vikings also believed that when you want to the afterlife you would go to Valhalla
and to have a big feast to get you ready for a big fight." - Alisha Issack
"We learnt about what the Vikings ate. The Vikings loved to eat lots of different food such as: wild boar, beef, fish, berries, honey, eggs, soup, chicken and a lot more." - Tye Kennerson
"We made Viking menus with massive meals, like the 4 by 4 burger meal." - Katie James
