In our recent curriculum focus on the Anglo-Saxons, Year 4 students embarked on an exciting journey into history, transforming into budding historians. Throughout the lesson, they delved into the fascinating world of Anglo-Saxon culture and heritage.
To truly immerse themselves in the era, the students took part in hands-on activities, including the art of Anglo-Saxon cooking. They enthusiastically baked both peasant and royal bread, gaining insights into the culinary practices of the time.
Additionally, they delved into the origins and migration patterns of the Anglo-Saxon people uncovering the reasons that led to their settlement in England.
One highlight of the lesson was the exploration of Anglo-Saxon artefacts. Through close examination, the students not only identified these but also their purposes and the individuals who would have used them.
Collaboratively, the children engaged in group research, further deepening their understanding of the Anglo-Saxon civilization.
Through these immersive experiences, Year 4 not only learned about history but also lived it, fostering a an understanding and appreciation for the past.
