This term, Year 5 have been learning all about the Anglo-Saxons — who they were, where they came from and what life was like in Britain over a thousand years ago!
We discovered how the Anglo-Saxons built their villages, what they wore and ate and how they shaped our language and place names today.
To bring our learning to life, we had an Anglo-Saxon Immersion Day where we dressed up, made shields, explored music as the characters Beowulf and Grendel and learned about life in an ancient village. We also enjoyed an exciting visit to the British Museum where we saw real Anglo-Saxon artefacts — including treasures from Sutton Hoo!
It’s been a fantastic topic full of history, creativity and discovery.
