Anglo-Saxon Day
January 2024
Year 4 started the term with an Anglo-Saxon day with a special visitor. We began with a hundred court where we had to decide if people were innocent or guilty. Then we played some Anglo-Saxon games. We learnt about how they would make clothes and used a lucet to create a bracelet. Finally, we went outside with shields and weapons to have an Anglo-Saxon battle
Wroxeter Roman City
27/9/2023
We visited the remains of the Roman City of Wroxeter. we were able to explore the bath houses and learn about how the Romans kept clean and healthy and why this was so important to them. We acted as if we were Romans visiting the baths, learning that we needed to pay someone to watch our clothes and prevent them from being stolen. We learned how to use a 'strigil' to scrap the dirt off our skins. We went into each of the rooms of the bath house and even saw the mark left by the builder of the baths. We also saw the Roman toilets - we are not sure we would have liked to have had to have used them!
We were also able to explore a reconstruction of a Roman town-house and find out about what it might have been like to live as a Romano-Briton.
We also visited the museum to look at some of the artefacts that archaeologists have discovered that help us know about everyday life in Roman Britain.

Stone-Age Experience at The Kingswood Trust
September 2022
Year 3 visited the Kingswood Trust to take part in a Stone Age Experience.
During the day we built shelters from branches and ferns like Stone Age people would have done when they were hunting for food.
We saw how to make a fire. We stripped thin branches of willow so they were clean and twisted bread dough onto them. We cooked our bread over the fire. Some of us were brave enough to eat our bread.
We learnt about how Stone Age people used flint to make tools and weapons and tried to shoot an arrow and throw a spear. We went foraging for fruits, nuts and berries.
We had to try to work out how Stone Age people moved the huge stones that were used to make Stonehenge.
We had a fantastic day.
