Making our ‘seaworthy’ Viking longships

Viking longboat and ballista challenge!

Some comments from class 8:
I really enjoyed our Viking vs roman battle, it was very fun! Most of the ships survived and the catapults worked exceedingly well! It was a great afternoon. Jennifer

I really enjoyed making and sailing our longships. Some of them sank but we all know why now. At least we won the challenge. Lets see who will win the next challenge. Megan W

Launching the ships was fun, a lot sank but victory was finally ours! Joe

Today we sailed our Viking longships across the sea, well a paddling pool in fact. Some of our ships survived but some of them sank. The overall score was 15 by class 6 and 19 by class 8. Mia.

I liked this because I was interested in their catapults and how they worked. Oliver

Well done class 8 and class 6, your longships and catapults were fantastic!
