The+Vikingss

=1. Questions (I wonder...?)= I wonder why the vikings attacked monastaries? I wonder what did the vikings look like? I wonder what the vikings ate? I wonder where the vikings first village was?

= = =2. Inferences (I think that...because....)= I infer that the vikings attacked monastaries because the were "rich" and concidered a soft target. I infer that the vikings had light hair and light eyes because my dad,my grandma,my great grandpa, and I all have blonde hair and blue eyes and we are all realated to vikings. I infer that the vikings ate alot of fish because they lived by the sea. ___

= = =4. Summary= When reaserching about vikings I found some very interesting information. For example I learned that the vikings had pets. Some of the pets were dogs,cats,horses,peacocks,falcons and bears! Then I learned about the vikings appearence. Most vikings had blonde hair, women who had brown hair woud bleach their hair blonde using a type of soap. Men had beards and wore pants (or trousers,) and shirts. The vikings were suprisingly clean, they took baths every friday and combed there hair every day. The vikings were also short, the avreage height for men was 5 8". The vikings had many war tactics. They were feirce fighters with swords,axes,staves, and spears. One myth about vikings is that their war helmets had horns/wings on them. This myth is not true, there is no evidience that the vikings had horns/wings on their helmets.
