In Year 7 we have begun our historical adventure with the Vikings! A scary (and hairy) barbarian, seafaring, axe-wielding raiders from the North. Or are they? Year 7 are delving into the fascinating culture, society and technological prowess that were the Vikings. We are exploring their beauty, their beliefs and artistic proficiency. We have studied some Viking artefacts which tell us a lot more about Viking culture than we would have previously thought. Although they were savage raiders, we are discovering that these so called ‘barbarians’ were actually a well ordered, intelligent, artistic society.
