Wow! You have learned a lot about Vikings already. Have you enjoyed your learning? What kinds of ships did they build?
ReplyDeleteWe have really enjoyed learning about Vikings and how they lived. We learned a lot about their ships. The ships they built had serpents on the front of them. They did this to scare people! What are you learning about? Are you learning about Vikings too?
ReplyDeleteI really like the history of Vikings. Did you know that Vikings were the first people from Europe to visit North America? They landed on the northern tip of Newfoundland at a place now called L'anse Aux Meadows nearly 1000 years ago!
