Fontmell Magna Viking Animation Workshop

(It has been settled for over 4,500 years…) We made a great animation based on the headless skeletons found in the “Viking Pit of Doom”, which was uncovered when they were digging out a new road near Weymouth. Twelve very talented children teamed up to make the film, which gives a possible explanation of how the skeletons got there… Here’s what we came up with!!
