Year 4 had a fabulous day at West Stow Anglo-Saxon village on Tuesday 6th February. We travelled by coach and arrived at 10:30 am where we were met by Stephanie who directed us to put our lunches away and split us into two groups. Group 1 went to the museum and explored artefacts and group 2 went to the village and explored all the huts with replica artefacts for the children to handle in order to understand how the Anglo-Saxons lived.
The children had lunch and then swapped over for group 1 to explore the village and group 2 the museum. We were incredibly proud of the behaviour of the children and the questions they asked. There really was a lot of deep thinking taking place. The children arrived home safely with a better understanding of Anglo-Saxons.
Thank you to all of you who paid to ensure the trip took place. It really was beneficial for the children to see and examine to gain an insight into Anglo-Saxons and their conquests, beliefs and burials.
