Class Visits

And finally… it was the turn of 5JB to experience York!

After waiting patiently for our chance, 5JB travelled to York as part of our Anglo-Saxon and Viking unit for History. We absolutely loved our trip to York!! We followed in the footsteps of previous year groups and made our own memories as we travelled up north in search of Vikings. We visited the Jorvik Centre to learn all about Viking life. We also visited Jorvik Dig to become archaeologists and dig up the past. At Jorvik DIG, we learnt about Viking Sagas from a very convincing Norseman! We then let our hair down at the York Hollywood Bowl as we took to 9 holes of minigolf. More than a few hole in ones were celebrated… check out our pictures for the winners!

During our visit, we were able to visit York Minster to learn about the history of the building from the Roman to the Viking period (and beyond) and also learn about monarchy from the time of the Romans to the late Queen, Elizabeth II. We got to see her statue in York that was unveiled by the King and Queen! We also visited Cliffords Tower where we learnt about the end of the period and how the Normans came to be part of British History. Finally, we took a spooky dive into crime and punishment at York Dungeon: it was very interesting and gave us a laugh and a ‘jump-scare’ into the bargain! We have loved York!!
