Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to explain how to combine a range of different shapes to make new graphic designs to represent Viking life and a worksheet to practise combining pairs of shapes to build new graphic designs to match a specific topic.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore some of the different ways of layering and ordering shapes in a graphic design representing a Viking longship sail.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select, combine and adjust different graphic shapes to create the design that could be used on a replica Viking longship sail. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
