Viking Warrior Dance

15th Jan 2026

As part of our topic on Vikings, Primary 6 will be working in groups to create their own Viking warrior dance.

To prepare, we explored and discussed other traditional war dances, such as the famous haka performed by the New Zealand rugby team before each match to challenge their opponents.

Over the next few weeks, the children will develop and refine their Viking warrior dances.

In our first lesson today, they made incredible progress—fully embracing the concept, collaborating effectively, and bringing fantastic ideas into their movements. It was amazing to see their creativity and teamwork in action! 

Well done P6 we
can't wait to see how this develops over the coming weeks!
