I am excited to share with you that Year 4 will be going on a trip to Palethorpe for an Anglo-Saxon and Viking day on Thursday 25^th April.

This trip will help us with our Raiders and traders History topic where we are learning all about the period of Anglo Saxons and Viking and how that impacted Britain.

In the morning we will be based at our Anglo-Saxon House on the fringes of the Danelaw, we will be transported back to the time when the whisperings of a united England were being spoken by King Alfred. Discover the events of the Saxon invaders and how they settled across the country, through to the fall of the Anglo-Saxons in 1066. Learn about their gods, important leaders, Viking invaders, Danelaw and Wessex village life.

In the afternoon we will Dress up as a Viking child and journey to our Long House deep in the woods. Here we will discover where Vikings came from and what happened to the Vikings of Britain. We'll  travel through time from their first arrival in 789 to their demise in 1066.
