This term, the children have been studying a fascinating era of British history– Anglo– Saxons and Vikings. We began the term with a visit from Ash ( a historical enactment professional), who regaled the children with real life tools, weapons and everyday clothing and utensils. The children have learned about the timeline of the Saxons and Vikings, plus the geography surrounding these ancient people and how they have affected the present day. They also read the story of Beowulf and learned about the art of storytelling. We rounded off the topic with the children giving presentations to parents and members of the public at Lowewood Museum.
