Have you been down to the woods today??
Anyone that was out strolling in Harewood woods yesterday would have
been in for a big surprise. A Viking Clan had set up camp in amongst the trees.
Class 3 had an excellent day thanks to Beth from Forest Found. Beth created a
day of activities linked to our learning on the Vikings in Britain. The
children baked bread on the fire, carved weapons, built dens and learnt how to
weave. Beth also provided a huge canvas ‘longhouse’ so we could shelter from
the worst of the weather.
The class also had chance to be Viking craftsmen – creating their own
shoulder sacks which they used to transport their lunch to our clearing in the
woods.
Many thanks to Mr.Pinnington and Mrs.Jarvis, who gave up their day to
time travel with us; their skills were exploited to the full! The children
thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was fantastic to see them putting their
Viking knowledge to practical use. It provided a memorable end to our study of
the Vikings.
