We have started our 'Traders and Raiders' topic and we managed to 'hook' the children in with a Zoom call from a REAL (and a very technologically advanced) Viking! He was brilliant! He described to the children all about Viking life, the raids, the fighting, how they crossed the oceans and the armour and weapons they used. The children asked some great questions too. 

Following on from this, we spent a lot of time perfecting our sketching and perspective skills by sketching a Viking Longship. Check out our results below -I think you'll agree, they are excellent!
