Year 5 Learning Examples

Year 5 were fantastic ambassadors for Queen Emma when visiting West Stow Country Park, near Bury St Edmunds. We became historians for a day and searched for evidence and artefacts to help our understanding of what life was like in Anglo-Saxon times. During the morning, Year 5 visited the reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village, taking in the sights of the great hall, the farmer's house, the weaving house and workshop. In the afternoon, we headed to the museum to find out fascinating facts. We dressed as Anglo-Saxons and got the opportunity to handle items such as bone antler combs, keys, beads, jewellery and knives which told us so much about everyday life in an Anglo-Saxon village.  We all had a great day.
