10/1/19   Today we worked a bit more on  maps and we watched a  video clip that told us       more about the Vikings. 

The longships were made of oak.

They used to name their swords ( just like a family member). One was called Fearsome Leg-Splitter. Next week we are starting to make swords and will name ours too,  just like the Vikings did! 

If you have any  cardboard tubes from kitchen roll, foil, clingfilm or wrapping paper inserts, please save them and we can use them for our swords. I have about 1/2 a dozen but we do need more. Just send them in anytime from now on. Thanks!
