This term, children in Y5 have been studying the Vikings; they have learnt about the different parts of a Viking ship and their functions and have evaluated whether the longship was an effective method of transportation.
Over the half-term holidays, the children were busy making their own Viking longships which they could construct using any materials that they liked. Their finished models are fantastic- they have used all manner of materials including wood, fabric, card, clay and even cake! The attention to detail on the different parts of their ships and their creativity is wonderful as the children have created intimidating figure heads, decorated shields and billowing sails.
In class, we are enjoying the children individually presenting their hard work and listening to how they created their longships. We have also thoroughly enjoyed eating three of the Viking longships which were constructed from chocolate cake, Swiss roll, red velvet cake and salted caramel cake - delicious!
The classroom is now full of a fleet of longships that are ready to launch on a Viking raid!
