The first 3 days of this Autumn term we have been focusing on creating a learning environment to match our topic 'Victorious Vikings'. Above you can see our new door for our classroom showing all Class 3 children in their Viking long boat wearing their Viking helmets.

In a Viking long hall there used to be a fire pit in the middle to spread warmth and light throughout the whole hall. Because of this we in Class 3 have created our very own fire pit that you can see hanging up in our classroom in the picture above.

We have also talked this week about where the Vikings came from and why they used to travel and invade. Our large map of Viking settlements and homelands shows clearly the journey that the Vikings made from Scandinavia to parts of Britain.

We have also been working hard on creating a large Viking longboat and scary figure heads to be displayed at the front and back of it. Each member of Class 3 has designed their own shield to be displayed on the side of the boat and a special carving pattern to add to the decoration. There has been lots of cutting out for Class 3 members to do this week as well because we are aiming to create a large pile of Viking jewellery to sit on top of our book corner.
