In Year 3 the children have been learning all about the Vikings through their Traders and Raiders Cornerstones project.
This gave the opportunity to do some storytelling in their Forest School lesson.
The story started in Asgard with Odin paying a visit to earth to keep a careful eye on Thor and Loki who were having a big disagreement. The children walk to the old Oak tree and see Odin's face clearly watching over all that is going on.
The story moves on to all the problems Loki and Thor are causing to their crops and the children are walking round the trampled path in our meadow where Thor and Loki chase each other in endless circles.
So the old man takes them to the woods and the people call out to their gods for help - the children stand in a circle under the cherry trees.
This terrible news causes the gods to cry and the old wise man takes them to the woods (trees in our mud pit) where the children find the tears of the gods hanging in the trees.
The old wise man instructs each of them to collect two different coloured tears and to return to their village.
Here they twist the tears into bracelets to wear so they will know protection from Loki's tricks.
As this was also the last session for each group they have also been sharing some of their memories from the year which you can listen to below.
