My very musical year 5 class adore this song! We learnt it for our class assembly about the Vikings but they still regulary request to listen to it and sing along with it. A really fun and informative song!

My class (Y4's) are performing this in their class assembly and are really singing with gusto! Some children have even said it's the best song they've ever sung!
