Our Year 6 class had a wonderful class trip to Enniskillen Castle Museum as part of their class topic ‘The Vikings’.
The castle have a brilliant Viking education programme that saw the children learning more about:
1 - Vikings in Scandinavia
Using role-play the children were welcomed into a Viking house where they investigated Viking food, clothing and social hierarchy.
2 - Vikings in Ireland
The children undertook an archaeological dig, uncovering Viking artefacts and finding out about the people who once owned them.
3 - Vikings Designer Workshop
The children learned how Vikings designed and produced different types of jewellery and armour. Pupils then made their own Viking object to take home.
