Year 5 have had a fantastic day igniting our new project, ‘Who’s in charge?’ We have started our project by exploring how the Anglo-Saxons came to England, how they affect our lives now and what kind of leader Edward the Confessor was. In the afternoon, we re-enacted the Battle of Hastings and made our own shields, swords, spears and axes. The children thoroughly enjoyed this experience and had lots of fun!
