Viking Voyagers

We have been researching how Vikings have travelled across the ocean.  We have worked on our own to find out lots of information on the following topics:

1. Navigation
2. Belongings and Equipment
3. How quickly they could sail
4. How their long ships worked

We used the computers to use Google to find the answers to our questions.  Sometimes this worked and sometimes it didn't.  The most successful wensite was BBC Schools History.  It had lots information about the Vikings.  It also had some brilliant videos that showed us what they looked like and how they sailed on the seas.

Then we got together with our information and ideas for our video.  We were planning and discussing how we were going to show the information we had found out.  We decided that we were going to have a role play for the part about how quickly they could sail.  We went outside to see where would be the best place to film this.  We wanted it to look like we were at sea, like real vikings, by filming it so we could only see the sky behind us.
