Anglo Saxon Houses in Year 3

Year 3 made some wonderful Anglo Saxon houses as a home project. We have really enjoyed having them in our classrooms to look at and admire! Some of these houses will be on display at the end of the top corridor so that children from the whole school can see our wonderful work. Well done Year 3 we are so proud of the work you have been completing and your amazing attitudes towards your learning.

Y3S Visit from Neldar the Anglo Saxon

On Tuesday we have a visit from an Anglo- Saxon lady called Neldar. She gave us some exciting activities in the morning where we were able to look through a basket of food that she would make a meal from. We thought about what meal we would make if Neldar came to our house for dinner and we thought about what meals would be very strange for her! In the afternoon we got to complete lots of activities with Neldar and she helped to answer any questions we had about Anglo- Saxon times. We were able to draw a picture of what Neldar was wearing and we became master Historians by using labels for the drawings. Then Neldar showed us some exciting objects and we got to play an Anglo- Saxon game! Thank you Neldar for your wonderful visit and well done Y3S for thinking of such interesting questions to ask Neldar.

Dying Cloth in Y3S

Y3S have been learning about the Anglo- Saxons during our History work. We learnt that they used to dye wool and cloth with different natural items such as nettles and berries. We dyed the cloth using these items and added boiling water from the kettle. The children made predictions about what colour they thought the materials would go, and here are the pictures of our dyed cloth. We hope to make something with the cloth. Well done Y3S for your wonderful enthusiasm and predictions!
