On Monday, years 5 and 6 took part in an Anglo- Saxon workshop. The day began with an exciting and dramatic entrance, instantly capturing our attention! Ash from Marvellous Histories led the session, teaching the children how to stand and move like Anglo-Saxon warriors, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The loved lining up in formation, imagining they were about to engage in battle with the opposition!
The children were particularly engaged when exploring artefacts, especially the weapons and heavy chainmail, which helped them appreciate the skill involved in its creation. They also learned about Anglo-Saxon life, including clothing and diet, with some interesting discoveries during the Q&A.
Overall, it was an engaging and informative experience. Thank you to Ash from Marvellous Histories for bringing the topic to life for our pupils.
