THE VIKINGS      

 

A Viking house.

HOUSES:  

Most of the Vikings lived on farms.  Their houses were built out of wood, stone, blocks of turf, with thatched or turf roofs. Their houses did not have much light because of the small amount of windows.      

   

9th - 10th Century Viking Family CLOTHES:  

 

Most of the clothes were made out of wool or linen but some rich people wore silk. To dye their clothes they used plants. The colours most commonly used were brown, green, yellow and red. The Vikings decorated their own collars, cuffs and hems with brightly coloured patterns.

a very big feast which they

would have eaten at a very

special  time .

DISCOVERY:

A Viking man called Bjarni Herjolfsson discovered America by accident in the year 985, when his ship was blown off course on the way to Greenland. A few years later, in 1001, Leif Eriksson 'the Lucky' sailed there to take a proper look at it. He was the first European to land in America.
