This term Year 4 took their history learning outdoors. They had been learning about Viking Britain in class, so Mrs Andrews planned a Viking-related session for them. The children started off by thinking about where the Vikings came from and looking at all the places in the world that they visited.

The children were given a map to follow, to find a special item. They worked together to follow the map and found something wrapped up and caught high up in one of the trees. Utilising their great problem solving skills the children managed to get the parcel down. Once unwrapped the class realised that they had found a Viking shield. The talked with Mrs Andrews about how Viking shields were made and what they were used for, before enjoying some well earned free time where they build shelters and climbed trees.
