Spring Term

VIKINGS

During Spring term, we will be studying the Vikings and 'the big question' will be-

Why did the Vikings invade England?

We will be studying the Viking saga 'Beowulf' and completing lots of cross-curricular work on this book, as well as studying Viking history and lifestyles. We will be visiting Jorvik Viking Centre in York on Thursday 21st March.
