Runes

By Mrs Herron, in Year 4 - Thursday, 8 February 2024

Vikings used runes to record things. These were symbols to represent sounds in words (or letters as we call them). Runes were usually carved into large stones and could be to mark territory, to provide information, to boast about their success or as a memorial to a great fallen warrior. We designed our own stone using simple images and rune symbols, and used graphite pencils and chalks to bring our designs to life.
