Vikings: primary and secondary sources

Friday 19 January 2024

In this week’s history learning, we learnt about primary and secondary sources of historical evidence and how to judge their reliability when learning about the past.

primary source: a source of information created at the time (artefacts, newspaper articles)

secondary source: a source of information created after the event (drawings, reconstructions)
