        Before you make the model you might like to read about Viking ships here.
        There is a useful lesson on Viking ships here.
                                          Instructions
        1. Print out the plans above. They can be enlarged as required.
        2. Fold a piece of card in half. Draw the outline of the hull on this making sure that
        the keel is on the fold.
        3. Cut out the shape and stick the two ends together to make the basic boat shape.
        4. Decorate the hull with planking and decorate the figure heads. Use your
                                                                                               
        imagination!
        5. Decorate the shields before cutting out. Stick the shields along the sides of the
        ship.
        6. Cut out the seat and and the central hole which will be used to anchor the mast.
        Stick it inside the boat in the middle.
        7. Decorate the sail on both sides and cut it out. Make two holes for the mast where
        marked.
        8. Use a straw or light stick for the mast. Put on the sail. Put the mast through the
        hole in the seat and use modelling clay or similar substance to stick it to the bottom
        of the boat.
        9. Use clay to keep the boat upright.
        If the whole class makes ships then you have a Viking fleet ready to sail!
