This week we have been learning all about the Vikings in History. The Viking age in European history was from about AD700 to 1100. During this period many Vikings left their homelands in Scandinavia and travelled by longboat to other countries, like Britain and Ireland.

We learnt that the people of Britain first saw the Viking longboats they came down to the shore to welcome them. However, the Vikings fought the local people, stealing from churches and burning buildings to the ground.

The people of Britain called the invaders 'Danes', but they came from Norway and Sweden as well as Denmark. 

Class 9 have had a fantastic day on our Digital Lift Off. We have been amazed with how much information technology is part of our everyday lives. We learned that technology and communication has improved over time and we looked at and created time lines.

We thought about our future jobs and what technology would be involved in them. We are very excited to receive an iPad and enhance our learning opportunities.
