Children in year 3 were visited by someone very special on Wednesday 7th October. Ok, so he wasn’t a REAL Viking. But Gary from a Viking reenactment group visited year 3 to show them some special artefacts and to talk to the children all about what it was like to live in Scandinavia some 1000 years ago.

Gary the Viking showed us some animal skins!
