tHE vIKINGS AND THE NORMANS

This month we have been learning all about Vikings and Normans! We looked at Scandanavian countries on the map and in drama we explored the story of the famous Viking Leif Erikson! We read about the famous Battle of Hastings when the Normans came to England, and looked at Motte and Bailey structures in England and Ireland where the Norman's settled. Have a look at our Viking Longship Art - we explored lots of media in this art, including chalk pastels, paint textures, pencils, markers, pen, card and paper! Dan's longship was chosen to go on the "Crann de dea-oibre."
