Miss Marriott's Class

Miss Wilson, Miss Marriott and Mrs Rose

This term our topic question is

Were the Anglo-Saxon times really the dark ages?

We will be investigating who the Anglo-Saxons were, where they came from, why they came, their settlements, their way of life and the chronology of the past.

So far, we have made Anglo-Saxon houses and started to collage shields. We have also created some Anglo-Saxon passports for our invader friends. Take a look at the pictures below to see what we have been doing.

In English, we have been looking at calligrams (shape poems) and used our topic of Anglo-Saxons as inspiration.

Have a look at the pictures below to see the process we used and the final outcome too!

All work can be sent to
