What a fantastic afternoon we have had in year 2 today!
This afternoon Viking Chieftain Evans needed help deciding if our Viking tribes were going to invade England.
The Chieftain was assisted by Tribes Algar, Toopey, Osmund, Copsey, Drabble and Gamble, we used role play and a drama technique called Freeze Frames to debate if we should invade England and take it from the Saxons.
During Viking times big decisions and new laws were debated in the 'Thing' which was an early parliament. All the class contributed to our decision to invade England and take it from the Saxons. It was lovely to see all the children, thinking and acting like Vikings, although some of them were a little scary!
The class also experienced how the Vikings made decisions and voted during the Thing.
The children really showed their creative and acting talents and we've had a really fun afternoon.
