The highlight of this week has been our fantastic ‘Anglo Saxon Day’! We were visited by Mildred, an Anglo Saxon, who showed us how the Anglo Saxons would have fought in battle. We discussed the incredible discovery at Sutton Hoo and some of us even got to hold replica weaponry. We also learnt the skills required to be an archaeologist and then put these into action discovering a multitude of intriguing items from the past.
Later in the day, we played two Anglo Saxon games, Nine Men’s Morris and Hnefatafl. We also heard some Anglo Saxon tales and took part in a Witan.
