We had a very exciting start to our week in Owl Class. We came in dressed as Anglo Saxons and had an expert come in to help us become experts ourselves in our knowledge of the Anglo Saxons. We looked at artefacts (including a smelly fish, a warm coat and a horn cup), learnt about their lifestyle, and played a game called ‘fox and geese’. Mrs Howe did attempt to win against different Owls but she kept getting beaten… Most excitingly we looked at Anglo Saxon weapons and army re-enactments. The Owls particularly enjoyed discovering more about the different weapons needed on an Anglo Saxon battlefield and getting to use their shields we have made. It was very intimidating to watch them marching forward with their shield wall and I think if they went into battle they would be a fearsome army! We also re-enacted the Battle of Hastings to see how the Normans finally won the victory.
