Fish and ships
PUPILS at a primary school in Scotland have given their pet goldfish a traditional Viking funeral.
Freddie and Bubbles died while pupils at Papdale School in Kirkwall were learning about Vikings.
So their teachers decided to bring the lesson to life by building small Viking longboats and setting them on fire as they were pushed down a local stream.
