Research for Stellar Unit 3: Defending the Seas

Dear 6 Joy,

If you happen to see this post, do take some time off today to research on pirates out at sea.

Please also click here and here to read up on the Vikings on Wikipedia.  The Vikings were Germanic Norse seafarers, speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Scandinavian homelands across wide areas of northern and central Europe, as well as European Russia, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries.

The text is rather lengthy so you can browse through for the main ideas to get a gist of what the Vikings are. 

You can click here for a shorter summary of the Vikings on BBC Primary History. The information is more child friendly.

Have fun exploring and do research more on your own!:)

Love,
Mrs Ong
