The morning…

the figurehead starts to smoke…
Stroxworthy Class’s Dragon…

the bow is all that’s left
just ash left…after just 30 minutes!
Still very warm!
the crowd waits in anticipation
the fire begin to take hold.
The shields start to burn
The crowd look on as the ship starts to burn
on fire from end to end
the heat was amazing!
Cranford Class’ sail starts to burn
Hubba The Pennington looks on at his ship.
The mast hangs on…
…but the sail is gone
Lots of people turned up to watch!
It was a great afternoon!
It was amazing; funny because lots of the adults were scared at the bangs and fire; i loved every minute of it all because it was the best school day ever , only because we got to go home early. My mum loved it but was a tiny bit scared at the feeling of all the fire and flames.
It was amazing! i would never of thought we would make a longship then BURN IT!
It was an exciting afternoon with Ashmansworthy class today. We did enjoy seeing all the parents in class and then the long awaited burning of the Viking Ship. Mr Pennington and all the children who helped him, worked so hard to construct our ship. P
The long ship looked great I hope you enjoyed the burning!! Joseph :-)
The viking ship looked great well done to all the children who helped build it and decorate it with lovely sheilds. What an amazing bonfire. We had a lovely afternoon. Thanks
