Year 5 had a brilliant visit to Tatton Park today to go back in time to find out what lwas like for the Anglo Saxons!  They were confronted by the scary, Viking character of "Harold Bloodaxe" who had arrived in the Anglo Saxon settlement to claim his Danegelds (taxes).  Whilst there, the children helped to thresh the wheat, grind the flour and mix the dough, ready for baking bread. They explored some Anglo Saxon artefacts and  made some colourful braids to trade with the Vikings.  They also had a warrior lesson from Harold Bloodaxe, where they learnt to form a "Turtle" formation using shields!  The organisers were so impressed with Year 5's amazing behaviour and knowledge of the Anglo Saxons.  Well done everyone!
