Year 6 enjoyed an actioned packed day at West Boldon Lodge. We took part in a number of activities including a mini-beast hunt and pond dipping. We also made our own classification keys.

To launch our new history topic, Year 6 welcomed “That History Bloke” to St. Bede’s. We spent the morning looking at Viking artifacts and listening to the saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, a Viking King, and how he saved the fair maiden Thora from the Lingworm.

We handled replica Viking weapons, armour and shields, then finished the morning playing Tafl (a Viking game).

We learnt a lot in such a short space of time!
