In History, Oak Class learned that a saga is an oral retelling of a story or event. The children listened to two different Viking sagas: The Greenlanders and Erik the Red. We discussed why sagas are not the most accurate sources of information as details can get left out and added over the years when stories are told by different people. The children listened carefully and recorded similarities and differences between the retelling party of Leif Erikson’s discovery of Vinland!
