Murton Park

​Today, we went on a school trip to experience life as a Viking Settler. Our trip allowed us to practically experience what it would have been to live in the era of the Vikings. We spent the day living as settlers and had to learn how to defend our land as warriors. We also collected and grew crops taking on the role of farmers and learnt how to make our own bread; as well as entertain ourselves with Viking board games. We even had a go at making our own oil lamps in the pottery shed as well as taking it in turns to be on guard duty to ensure our village didn’t get attacked! We all had a fantastic day and the children in Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed living as Viking settlers for the day!
