This week in 4th grade…

… we had a Viking Feast to experience the authentic foods of the Vikings we have been studying about in history. This barbaric people group from Scandinavia conquered many parts of Europe, through skilled warfare. Although they were fierce warriors, they were also skilled craftsmen who fashioned flat-bottomed longships that allowed them to sail in otherwise impassable, shallow waters and push their ships onto land, claiming it for themselves. The 4th grade students created paper replicas of these longships and displayed them for decoration at the Viking Feast. Authentic beef and barley stew, Viking bread, and apple cider were served along with other dishes. The 4th grade students thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the flavors of the Vikings.
