Hello Indigoers!
I hope that we are all okay! It has been a good week for work (I got lots of information on South America yesterday) and we got more entries for the competition than we did last time! I believe the winner will be announced today so I am very much looking forward to that.
Today I was hoping that you would be able to do the same thing again but, instead of facts on South America, I would like to hear about the Vikings. They are in the same time period as the Anglo Saxons (can anyone tell me when that was?) and, as you should know, fought them on a number of occasions.
So once again, I would like 5 facts from each of you.
This time however I want you to read the comments to check that you are not repeating anyone else’s and try to comment less but with more content (the 98 comments yesterday were very hard to keep track of). Thank you to Davmie and Weda for each coming up with well over five facts each though!
If you want to do more and perhaps make a fact sheet on the Vikings then send it to the class email that I sent your reports in and I will publish the best facts on a later blog!
Here are some excellent websites to help you:

I’m looking forward to reading all of the interesting information!
Speak soon,
Patrick

Good job Weda. You’ve helped create a clear picture of Viking life and culture.
You don’t have to find anything specific; just find 5 interesting facts that haven’t been mentioned. As long as they are about the Vikings then that is fine. Is that alright?
What language did they speak
Old Norse
Old Norse (Dǫnsk tunga / Norrœnt mál) Old Norse was a North Germanic language once spoken in Scandinavia, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and in parts of Russia, France and the British Isles and Ireland. It was the language of the Vikings or Norsemen.
Here are some facts about the Vikings.
1) Vikings didn’t wear horned helmets.
2) Vikings were known for their excellent hygiene.
3) Vikings used a unique liquid to start fires.
4) Vikings buried their dead in boats.
5) Vikings were active in the slave trade.
6) Viking women enjoyed some basic rights.
7) Viking men spent most of their time farming.
8) Vikings skied for fun.
That was all my facts.I hope you liked them.
Good job Sophia! Another load of facts that I didn’t know before! Thank you!
That one to one conversation on my mum’s phone I had with Patrick was awesome.I heard something about being one of the most active people on the web.

this is a very good app to make music, check out what i made https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/song/5730862558609408 and you can make your own…Today!
*Back to work*
what did the vikings eat?
Vikings ate fruit and vegetables and kept animals for meat, milk, cheese and eggs. They had plenty of fish as they lived near the sea. Bread was made using quern stones, stone tools for hand grinding grain.
By the way,I actually use that app quite a lot.My sister loves it.
Would we be able to hear some of the music Sophia?
Wait a minute…my work is the exact same as Davmie’s.What’s going on?
I mean I’ve written all my work that I learned from google and it seems like you did too.It’s a coincidence.
The Vikings don’t sound too keen on being vegetarian or vegan.
Haha- very true! You’ll want to remember all these facts because I’ll do a quiz on them tomorrow!
also found out:
The vikings used swords, axes, bows and arrows, lances and spears. The Vikings also used various aids to protect themselves in combat: shields, helmets and chain mail. The weapons that Vikings possessed depended on their economic capacity.
Very interesting! Would you be able to explain what economic/economy and capacity mean?
part of speech: adjective
definition: having to do with the money system. (spend money on something)
(Example) The board met to discuss the school’s economic situation.
capacity the amount that can be held in a particular space.
economy the careful use of money, resources, and means of production.
Excellent- so, knowing the definition of both words, what do they mean together?
Economic (money) capacity (limit) in this context means how much they can afford. So “The weapons that Vikings possessed depended on their economic capacity” means that how good their weapons were depended on how much money they had.
Really, why didn’t i YET? i remember having one before though (during lockdown BORING holiday)
We’re calling a number of students each week just to check in. You’ll get a call next week Davmie!
Did you use the rock stars link that I sent to your email account?
Fair enough! Let me know if it works when you are able to give it a go. 🙂
I didn’t know about that!Would we find it on the app that our parent/s use for their emails or is there a specific type of emailing app we should check on/use?
It’s my LITTLE sister’s birthday in 3 days! and she’s turning 2 yearS old!
I’d do anything for you,Davmie.After all,you are my best friend (don’t forget Basmah).
