Primary 6 Trip to Ballydugan Medieval Viking Settlement

19th May 2023

P6 thoroughly enjoyed stepping back in time at the viking settlement.  They took part in activities such as grinding grain on a rotary quern, kneading flour, eggs, milk and some honey to bake bread on a hotstone, storytelling using a hand stitched picture map of viking sagas, blacksmith weaponary skills and archery.  Pupils took part in a live reinactment of a viking battle with the village vikings and won!  We had a lovely picnic lunch overlooking the river Quoile and enjoyed the sunshine.
