**Vikings in North America**
The grade 6 students presented the story of the Vikings' arrival in Newfoundland 1000 years ago. They created plasticine characters to resemble the Vikings and the First Nations people of the time. They based their characters on drawings found in text books. One student prepared a model dwelling of those found at the L'Anse Aux Meadows site in Newfoundland. The historical site was discovered in the 1960's giving evidence that Christopher Columbus was not the first European to discover North America.

The vikings traveled to Greenland by sea in long boats.



This is the route they took to North America.

They arrived in Newfoundland and called it Vinland because of all of the grapes and berries.
