On Monday 28^th June Year 5 made a very special journey to visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

After a two hour journey we arrived and made our way to the Priory where the children completed an activity challenge and performed short plays which they had written themselves about the life of St Cuthbert.

The weather was in our favour and packed lunches were enjoyed, then we visited the gift shop (lots of gifts for mums were lovingly chosen and lots of swords and axes were purchased by the boys!).

Finally we visited the ‘Lindisfarne Centre Museum’ where the children watched a film about the history of the island and the Viking raids, this led to lots of role-play, involving swords and axes!

The children were able to see the Lindisfarne Gospels Exhibition, do wax rubbings and play some of the games that would have been enjoyed by Viking families. If you would like to see more please come into school to see our display, watch our plays and talk to the children about their experience.
