Year 5 had a wonderful start to their new history topic, The Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, when they visited Canterbury Cathedral. They participated in workshops which taught them about the history of the Cathedral, the impact of the Viking invasion on the local area, how to write their names in Old English and Viking runes, and much more! The children were given the opportunity to dress up as a significant individual, such as: the King of Kent, Ethelbert and his wife, Queen Bertha; St. Augustine, the first archbishop of Canterbury; St. Alphege, monks, Cnut the Great and Emma or Normandy. It was a great day!
