This week Mr Allen's Primary 6 class enjoyed an exciting educational visit to the Navan Centre and Fort in Armagh, where they stepped back in time to discover what life was like during the Viking era. Pupils had the opportunity to learn about Viking traditions, clothing, and daily routines through interactive activities and engaging storytelling. From exploring authentic artefacts to trying out writing with quills and ink, the experience brought history to life in a fun and memorable way. The trip was a fantastic opportunity to deepen understanding of our topic and sparked lots of curiosity about this fascinating period in history!

P6M recently embarked on an exciting adventure to Navan Fort to dive into the world of Viking life. The day was filled with fun and learning as we practiced writing with quills and ink, just like the monks did in the monastery's scriptorium. We had the incredible opportunity to meet real-life Vikings who showcased their weapons and shared fascinating insights about life during Viking raids. The final workshop focused on everyday Viking living, where we explored a variety of Viking artifacts. Overall, it was a brilliant experience that we will always remember!

Primary 6A had a wonderful afternoon investigating Viking Boat Hulls. Each child was set the challenge of designing and creating their very own Viking Longship Boat Hull, with only tin foil. Each child then had to estimate how many marbles their Boat Hull would hold before sinking. The marbles were then placed in the hull and the children recorded their results. A huge total of 66 marbles was the eventual winner! Well done to all who participated.

Mr Mitchell's class took on a creative design challenge inspired by Viking long boats. Using just tinfoil, pupils explored how different hull shapes affect a boat's ability to float. Each boat was then carefully tested with marbles to see which design could carry the most before sinking. After plenty of suspense, one standout boat held an incredible 196 marbles - a record-breaking result and a brilliant example of thoughtful design!
