Today, Year 5 had a visit from Adam from Historic Workshops. Adam told us lots of stories about the Anglo Saxons and Vikings and then we took part in a range of different activities.

We tried on and held lots of different Anglo Saxon and Viking artefacts.

We used metal detectors and magnifying glasses to decide if artefacts were from the Anglo Saxon and Viking time period or another time period.

We learned about battle tactics, used shields to take part in some team games and then formed a shield wall.

We translated some runes that were etched onto a helmet into English and then decided if the helmet was Viking or Anglo Saxon.

Finally, we took part in some archery practice.
