Year 4 Trip out to the Jorvik Centre and the Dig in York.

 In History, Year 4 are learning about the Vikings, so we were really excited to be able to go to York last Friday and visit the Jorvik Viking Centre and The Dig. We learned all about the exciting work of archaeologists and how they piece together the past using lots of artefacts they find under the ground. We even had a go at digging some things up ourselves and unearthed relics from Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian times! We also got to examine and sort lots of artefacts including bones, shells, pottery and even poo!
We then enjoyed a journey back in time to a Viking village! We learned about the how they lived: their jobs, their leisure time, their diet,their weapons and their customs. We even talked to some real Vikings! It was a great day!
