During our Viking work this term we have found out that found Vikings, called Beserkers, used to bite the edge of their shield to scare their opponents. Vikings also used the metal boss in the centre of the shield to hit their enemies with.

Viking shields!
We have been making Viking shields in class. First we looked at different Viking designs and chose two colours to decorate the shield. Then we made a metal 'boss' for the centre of our shield using a paper bowl and tin foil. Finally we attached a handle to the back.
