Today we did an assembly on the Vikings. We told some interesting facts like ‘men wore jewellery’ and the Viking helmets didn’t have horns. We sang ‘Wake Up’ at the start and ‘I Feel Good’ at the end and everyone had fun doing the actions. By Mollie, Alister, Heather, Finlay B, Euan and Faith.

We did a drama about the Vikings and the Scottish people managed to defeat the Vikings and the thistle saved the castle and Scotland. As the Vikings attacked, they were stung by thistles and their screams woke the Scottish guards who threw boulders at the Vikings and some of the Vikings died. The king made the thistle the flower of Scotland. By Charlotte, Doulgas, Ella, Robert, Kaitlin and Jack
