Buried Treasure Areas of learning As Historians we will be studying the Vikings who settled in our country in the 8th–11th centuries. We will be looking for evidence of what life was like during these times. We will be finding out how archaeologists and historians have found buried treasure from the past that reveal the secrets from these times. We will use secondary sources of evidence to help us find out about houses, culture and leisure, clothes, their way of life and beliefs. We will also explore how the Vikings still affect life today (names of villages and days of the week) and how Viking culture can still be seen in some places. We finally will look at Viking ships and making our own. As Geographers we will be practising map skills by looking at the Scandinavian countries the Vikings came from. We will explore geographical features – especially the lack of farming land to try to understand why Vikings settled in Britain. As Designers we will be planning and making Viking Longboats ready to sail on the seas. Other areas of learning PE: Children are required to have PE kit in school every day during Terms 5 and 6. MUSIC: As well as learning the songs for the Tempest, we may get to sing some traditional Viking songs. RE: We will be studying the beliefs and religions of the Vikings and how important their beliefs were to them. Enterprise Viking Visitor Environment We will be making Viking Jewellery, including brooches and bookmarks using Viking writing and art. We will be planning to sell some of these during a WOW at the end of this unit. We will be welcoming a special visitor into school during the topic to help us learn all about this time in history. This day will involve drama, story telling, arts and lots more. We will explore how the Vikings grew their own food and how many people are now returning to this as a sustainable way of living.
