| The kids were delighted to chat with Auntie Marilla this morning |
 |
| They showed each other their teddy bears |
 |
| We looked at different Norse gods and how they are represented as superheroes |
 |
| We looked at the days of the week and they used the pictures as hints to guess where the days of the week get their names |
 |
| It took Tahlia a while to work out where to put the picture of the sun! |
 |
| They discovered that four of the days of the week are named after Norse gods/goddesses; can anyone name which gods/goddesses they are? |
 |
| We made our own (non-functional) Viking drinking horns |
 |
| Decorating her horn |
 |
| Zachary read some more about the Vikings with Daddy |
 |
| Zachary helped teach the others the flags of the Scandinavian countries, where the Vikings came from |
 |
| Showing off her new drinking horn |
We also enjoyed an indoor Viking games tournament, as the weather still wasn't great.
 |
| Viking tug of war |
 |
| Who will be victorious? |
 |
| It was a tough win |
 |
| They tried every tactic they could think of |
 |
| Enjoying the running races |
 |
| Next it was the weight lifting competition; first, a big bottle of PVA glue |
 |
| Some went for extra points... |
 |
| ...while others just showed off |
 |
| Then it was a giant lump of clay, much more of a challenge! |
 |
| Working those muscles; it's a good thing we've been training in PE with Joe |
 |
| The next game was knocking the ball around the course with a wooden spoon |
 |
| Nearly there! |
 |
| The final classic Viking game was called 'giving birth to a bear'; the person in the middle has to squirm their way out |
 |
| Zachary tries to squeeze his way out from under Jory |

Poor Daddy!
