CHILDREN at a Chester primary school enjoyed a trip back in time to the Viking era. Year 5 pupils of Hoole Church of England Primary welcomed Olaf the Viking into school for a memorable day, learning about the origins and culture of Vikings. Olaf taught them about day to day life, recounting stories about Viking voyages and adventures in long boats. Children had the opportunity to handle Viking-related artefacts and participate in a battle against Anglo Saxons. Prior to Olaf’s visit, children researched Viking clothing and many even came dressed in Viking attire for the day. The school is now planning additional enrichment opportunities for pupils in other year groups, including a trip to Safety Central for Year six and three residential trips later this term.
