Thursday 3 March 2022 Vikings Come to Goudhurst! Vikings came to Goudhurst Primary School on Friday 25th February! The Vikings came from Scandinavia, cleverly disguised as Year 5 school children! The Vikings raided the creative play area and made longships to try and escape, battling each other! They then needed to refuel after their conquests, creating Viking bread to sustain them. Finally, they raided the art cupboard, making brooches from precious jewels. Much fun was had throughout the day, whilst invading and raiding. However, we are glad that the Vikings have now left and returned our Year 5 classroom back to us.
