York’s JORVIK Viking Centre is inviting schools all over the country – and beyond – to join a free week packed with Viking-themed activities created by its award winning education team. That JORVIK Viking Thing: Schools’ Week runs from 14 – 18 February 2022 with content remaining online until 27 February.
Schools’ Week is an extension of JORVIK’s school visits and virtual outreach programme, bringing fun and engaging content to schools across the world free of charge. First run in February 2021 in response to schools limiting physical trips, the week has been extended in 2022 to feature a full week’s worth of education programming, including an introductory video each day and a livestreamed presentation linked to the theme every afternoon. Teachers will be provided with links to the online content, as well as downloadable resources and ideas to implement during the week.
The week is primarily aimed at children in Key Stage 2, although content will be of interest for older pupils, too. Teachers who have registered for the week will be granted early access to the material in the week prior to help with planning.
