Explorers Day

Last Tuesday everyone at St Andrews was invited to come to school dressed as an explorer for our 'Explorers Day'.  There were some fantastic costumes and we had great fun trying to guess who everybody was!

 For part of the day, we played a trading game, where we had to pretend to be Vikings trading goods with people from other parts of the world; furs and antlers from Bulgar in Russia, timber and fish from Birka in Sweden, amber and silver from Hedeby in Denmark, stone pots and honey from Jorvik in England and silks and spices from Constantinople in Turkey.  We had lots of fun travelling over land or by sea, and trying to make the best deals possible!
