September 2026 update

We can't quite believe we are already 4 weeks into the term here in Year 5 - it has flown by!
We recently welcomed in a history expert who led our fearless enquirers into the time of the Anglo-Saxons. As well as experiencing life as an Anglo-Saxon warrior, complete with much dressing up and sword - swinging, the Year 5s also spent time learning about how they settled disagreements with a 'folk mute'. It would seem that 'trial by fire' was a popular way to settle an argument!
Back in the classroom, children experimented writing Saxon runes using a quill and ink and trying their hand at a popular Anglo-Saxon game: Nine-Men's Morris. 
A wonderful start to our enquiry and our year of learning!
