Anglo Saxon Fun in Year 5!

Year 5 ended their Anglo Saxon topic with a lot of fun and creativity this week!  All children completed their creative homework task by making shields! They were all fantastic and are now proudly on display in our Reception area in school.  They spent their Anglo Saxon Day baking, making bracelets and making Anglo Saxon jewellery.  Even the rain didn't stop us practising our shield formations and the famous "Charge" battle!  Well done Year 5!  You were all amazing and deserved the whole class Headteacher's Award this week!  Mrs Blomeley
