Year 6 - Viking artefacts

Date: 22nd Jan 2024 @ 7:31pm

In History today we explored how recent excavations can help us to change the way we viewed the Vikings. We learned that they were skilled craftsmen, who were able to make items such as weapons, clothes and jewellery. We also learned about the excavaiton in york in 1978 that led to the discovery of a whole Viking settlement right under the streets of the city. We were then given the opportunity to look at a range of replica artefacts and discuss what they told us about the Vikings.
