On Tuesday November 21, our Prep School pupils experienced a fantastic medieval themed day as part of the Humanities curriculum.
During the interactive all-day workshop, our Year 4 pupils travelled back to 1066 to experience what life was like for the Saxons, Vikings and Normans.
Hosted by historian and filmmaker Richard Brighton from The History Squad, pupils played traditional Saxon board games, got hands on with the weaponry and armour they used in battle and analysed one-thousand-year-old crafts and jewellery made by the Anglo Saxons.
The pupils then enjoyed an afternoon of re-enactment, learning all about the battle tactics and how William the Conquerors’ victory changed England.
