Anglo-Saxon Day
On Monday 17th January 2022, Year 4 went to Bodenham Arboretum for an Anglo-Saxon day in their forest school area. Thankfully the sun shone on us all day and we had a fantastic time taking part in:
- Fire lighting using flint and striker
- Making natural dyes using beetroot and blackberries and raspberries
- Calico Printing – using the dyes
- Painting our faces using charcoal to look like Anglo-Saxon warriors
- Cooking on the fire – Anglo-Saxon bread
- Making rune stones out of clay
- Writing their name in runes
- Make necklaces using Elder and clay beads
- Anglo-Saxon shelter building
- Making Anglo-Saxon toys using clay and natural materials
The children behaved impeccably and had a super day to start off our new topic.
Well done Year 4!
