Year 5 Anglo-Saxon Day at Ufton Court
Friday 13th December, 2024
Year 5 took a trip to Ufton Court to learn about the Anglo-Saxon daily life, and the struggle between the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings to control England.
The children (and grown-ups) had such an epic day with immersive activities including weaving wool and fence panels, and making sparks with flint and steel.
We looked at artefacts and played a game of two lies and a truth where three people said what the artefact was and only one told the truth. The children then voted.
Finally we learnt some battle chants and had an Anglo-Saxons vs. Vikings battle! “UT, UT!”
The children were so excited for this trip and it didn't disappoint. For many pupils Ufton Court is the most memorable trip of their time in Junior School. A special thanks to the team at Ufton Court who make this experience truly special, and to our PTA for partly funding this trip.
