Our Year 3s were transported back to Saxon times with a special visit from Portals to the Past. The children in 3KI and 3HS learnt all about Saxon history and life before they begin their new topic of Anglo-Saxons. The children in Year 3 all dressed up as Saxons and made swords and shields which looked very authentic! Some of their favourite activities included the re-enactment of the story of Beowulf, which was the basis of our previous English story map, handling artefacts which were over 1000 years old and participating in the Battle of Hastings. All the children enjoyed the day and learnt lots of interesting information about the Saxons and their life and now cannot wait to implement their new knowledge into our history lessons.
