Bringing Histrory to life!

KS2 linked their History to Beach School once again this week. The children made Viking longboats in groups in their classroom. Once down at the beach, we talked about Viking burials and how they were sent off with their possessions on longboats and were set alight. They believed that the smoke would speed up their journey to the afterlife. The children practised lighting small fires in teams first, then we set their boats alight! Finally we tested them in the sea to check that they would float. Please click here for more photos.
