Year 4 visit to Jorvik Centre in York - November 2021

Date: 7th Feb 2022 @ 4:25pm

On Friday 12^th November, Year 4 visited the Jorvik Centre as part of their learning linking to The Vikings. During the day, we learnt about Viking battle techniques and even managed to use the swords and spears! We also learnt about Viking settlements and enjoyed our trip through a Viking village - although the realistic smells were not enjoyable! After our ride through History, we were shown how Viking coins were made and could explore different elements of the museum. After an exhausting day, we fell into our seats on the coach to return home - some of us even managed to catch 40 winks on the way back to school.

Lacey: We learnt battle attacks blocks. There is an axe called a beard axe. It’s used for pulling shields down. In the Jorvik Centre, we learnt all about how the Vikings went to the toilet!

Noah: I enjoyed our trip to Jorvik, although the ride had realistic smells! It was a wonderful sight to see the Viking village.

Filip: I liked the sights on the ride because it smelt real and it looked realistic.

Adam: I liked the trip because I saw a Viking village and it was fun.

Gryff: On the trip, I learnt that the Vikings had similar things to what we have now such as board games.
