Outdoor Anglo-Saxons

Year 4 pupils recently experienced learning in the great outdoors to have an Anglo-Saxon day. Their first task was to make an amazing stew, chopping vegetables carefully before placing them into the bubbling water.

The second activity of the day was coloured weaving, with pupils picking two colours and transforming them into lovely spirals. The children then made friendship bracelets out of thread which they got to wear and take home.

After lunch, the pupils made Anglo-Saxon dens (homes) out of dried grass and bendy sticks. The last thing activity of the day was making fire! The children made the fire using flint rocks with a specific type of metal to ignite cotton wool or dried grass.

Thanks as always go to our St Peter’s staff for bringing external experts into school to enrich and deepen the school curriculum for the pupils.
