Making barley stew, snake buckles and coins for our Anglo Saxon whole class reading!

Ash Class have been studying a non fiction text for their whole class guided reading sessions. Along the way, we have created many Anglo Saxon items including our shields that we made recently.

Barley stew

Making snake buckles

We used air dry clay to create snake buckles (like they used in Anglo Saxon times) to keep their clothes up!

 

Coins

We used two bits of cardboard, metallic paint, metallic pens and glue to make our own coins. We put a design on there that represented ourselves.

Making Saxon Shields

Ash Class have started to study an Anglo-Saxon non-fiction book in Whole Class Reading. It links with our work on the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. Today we used instructions to create our own Saxon Shield. 

Miss Moffat was proud of their achievements. Some of the instructions weren't straight forward and the children coped well. They clearly read and understood the instructions!
