Year 4 - Anglo-Saxon Day

Wednesday 11th February 2026

Year 4’s Anglo-Saxon Day was full of exciting learning and hands-on experiences! 
They began with an introduction to the seven kings who ruled during Anglo-Saxon times, discovering fascinating facts about this important period in history.

The children then headed outside to take part in a fun, action-packed game. The aim was to capture the flag from the opposing side without being tagged — anyone who was caught had to spend time in “prison”! It was a great way to bring history to life while encouraging teamwork and strategy.
Next, the children tried their hand at traditional Anglo-Saxon weaving techniques, showing fantastic focus and creativity.

To finish their spectacular day, they learned how fire was made in Anglo-Saxon times using a stick and a wooden base with a small hole. They were also amazed to watch Harold smelt metal and pour it into a mould to create an arrowhead — a truly memorable experience for everyone involved!

Thank you to Adventures Into for a wonderful day bringing history to life!
