Year 6 - History

Date: 6th Jan 2026 @ 2:41pm

Year 6 kicked off their new history topic this week with an exciting first lesson on the Vikings ⚔️.

The children explored who the Vikings really were beyond the stereotypes, discovering their origins in Scandinavia and the reasons they travelled across the seas. They also began to piece together how the Vikings fit into the wider story of British history 🇬🇧, from early raids to settlement and cultural influence. It was a brilliant start to the unit, full of curiosity, questions, and plenty of enthusiasm for what’s to come next
