P5 Archaeologists

We were very lucky this week to have a visit from Sandra, a Historic Scotland Ranger.  She came in with a big box of replica Viking artefacts.  They were very interesting. She asked us to be Archaeologists and try and work out what each artefact was, who would have used and what it was used for.  She told us there was one very tricky challenge and she didn’t think we would get it but we worked together as a team and discovered that it was used as a ‘strike a light’ to light fires quickly!  Sandra was really impressed at our team work and knowledge of the Vikings!  It was a great visit and we learned some new facts about Vikings and enjoyed seeing and handling the artefacts.
