Now Press Play... Anglo-Saxon Adventure

Date: 5th Dec 2021 @ 10:24am

Using our 'Now Press Play' equipment, Year 5 immersed themselves into an Anglo-Saxon experience. 

Each child became a character who had been blamed for the escape of the village ox. They were immediately sent into exile and walked for miles to a nearby forest. As they were walking, they came across a camp of Vikings who were planning to burn down their village. They had to warn their neighbours whilst worrying that they would never see their family again.

During this experience, we learnt about:

• How the Anglo-Saxons relied on the land to survive
• The structure of Anglo-Saxon society
• The role of King Alfred in the conflict between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings
