The VikingsBy Chris ,Luke and Tobias

ExploringVikings began to raid towns all over Europe. Many of them found good land for farming and decided to live there. Vikings also settled in Iceland and Greenland. They hunted fish, whales and seals to eat. Some Vikings sailed as far as North America and tried to set up farms there. They were often attacked by Native Americans, so they soon decided to leave.

The first person to sail to North America was Leif the Lucky (Eric the reds son).

Fun and games

Vikings spent their free time playing games, repairing weapons and making beautiful things. Some people made lucky charms. Many Vikings enjoyed skiing and skating in the winter. Viking men sometime had wrestling contests and sword fights. They showed off their strength by lifting huge rocks. Viking archers liked to hunt boars with their new weapons.

Attack!!!For a Viking , attacking was quite rare. The first Viking attack was in 793 at Lindesfarne which led to success. Most vikings attacked in the morning to surprise there enemies. they grabbed all the money and treasure they could find. lots of Vikings were poor, so they sometimes sailed to England and raided places like ministries.
