Summer 1

We will be going back in time over 1000 years ago to study the Vikings who were Norse people who came from an area called Scandinavia.

The word Viking means ‘a pirate raid’, which is a fitting name as they were fearsome warriors and often raided monasteries for treasure.

But they weren’t all bad, bloodthirsty and violent - they also settled with their families and farmed the land peacefully for many years.

So this has left us to enquire...

'Were all Vikings vicious?'

Watch this space to find out!

We will be designing, producing and performing a shadow puppet show based on these 'good or grimm' stories as part of our work on light in science and also designing traditional tale hand puppet shows which we will perform for our buddies.

Why is London an important city? 
 
As part of our amazing trip to London, we will be looking at why London is such an important city and will compare it to others around the world.
