Our first week back saw the year 4’s time travel back to the Anglo-saxon times with a trip to Winchester, ancient capital of Wessex. Events of the day included:

Handling artefacts as an archeologist:

Examining and digging for artefacts:

Exploring Winchester Cathedral for Saxon evidence and finding mortuary chests that contain the bones of Anglo-Saxon Royalty:

and listening to the legend of the St Swithun:

The children enjoyed many more activities linked to the Anglo-Saxons and before returning to 2019 discovered an familiar face that had enjoyed some time travel too.

Have a lovely weekend.

The Year 4 team.
