Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 History - How did the Vikings Travel? Investigating Longships ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/328718B7-CB56-46B3-BF05-25488EC26A61.jpeg) 25 May 2023 In our history lesson today we have learnt all about methods of travel and in particular the use of longships. We looked at the key functions of the boats, labelling a diagram and then adding further details from researching. In the next part of the lesson we will be designing and making our very own longships which we are super excited about. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/328718B7-CB56-46B3-BF05-25488EC26A61.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0157.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-25-year-2-windmills) Previous ### [Year 2 - Windmills](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-25-year-2-windmills) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/C97F856D-9EE9-4530-87E9-253E52A4E01E.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-26-year-6-geography) Next ### [Year 6 geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-05-26-year-6-geography) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
