Last half term, year 4 had a great time learning about the Anglo-Saxons. We discovered where they came from, why they came to Britain, what their daily lives were like, the jobs they did, how their beliefs changed over time as well as how they punished people who committed crimes.

We enjoyed a trip to Jarrow Hall to learn more about the everyday lives of Anglo-Saxons. We also found out about the herbs they used for medicine. Two of our favourite activities were writing in runes to make our own amulets and engaging in a mock battle between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings.
