On Monday, we began our history topic on the Vikings. We began by looking at where the Vikings came from - Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) and that they came over to invade Lindisfarne in 793AD. We compared on a timeline how this was the same time period as the Anglo-Saxons. We learnt about sources and that they are, books, internet, artefacts, historical documents, etc and that there are primary and secondary sources. Today, we reminded ourselves of what sources are and and then looked at why the Vikings chose to come and invade and settle in England. We have learnt that the Vikings were more than just raiders and that they were traders and farmers. Each lesson we are answering our topic question - would the Vikings do anything for money? We have the creative and cooperation gems. |
