The Invaders - Researching our Video

The first thing we did this afternoon was to come up with a question to answer in our video.  Our video is about where the Vikings came from and some of the questions we thought of were:

• Where is Scandinavia?
• What are these places like?
• How did they live?
• What gods did they believe in?
• What weapons did they have?

We used the computers to do some reasearch about these questions. 

We looked for the names of the Viking gods and then looked for pictures to show what the gods represented.  For example, Odin was the god of magic, poetry and war so we found pictures of these things.

We also found out about the weather in Scandanavia so that we can try and make a weather forecast.  This will help us to show the viewers what Scandanavia is like.

We also looked for pictures of weapons.  Some of them were axes, spears and swords.  We are going to put these in the video and explain what they are.
