As part of our history topic on the Anglo-Saxons, Year 4 visited Mere Tun, the Anglo-Saxon settlement at Martin Mere, to experience life in Anglo-Saxon times.

During the visit, we foraged in the woods for useful camp materials, wove a pig pen from willow, learnt how to thatch a roof using reeds and practised defending the village from a Viking attack!

We had a fantastic day discovering the skills needed for everyday life in an Anglo-Saxon settlement and bringing our classroom learning to life.
