Hello everyone,
Year 4 had a brilliant day out, travelling back in time to the land of Danelaw at Murton Park near York - where we learnt to live the life of Vikings! The children farmed the land, guarded the village from Anglo-Saxons, ground flour using a millstone, baked biscuits, collected firewood, created their own pottery... and much more besides! We hope you enjoy the pictures below (click the link below for a slideshow of photos)
Year 4 have also been learning about Viking food production in science this week and as part of a practical investigation, they used the method of churning to create butter from cream. Through shaking, the fat molecules come out of position and stick together, which then creates the butter and the left over liquid is buttermilk. They really enjoyed the process and produced some excellent butter. . .which they even tried as well!!!
That's all for now,
Mr Kyriacou :)
