This half term, Maple 2 are learning about The Anglo Saxons. In Literacy, the pupils have been rehearsing an Anglo Saxon story where they have learnt about how and why they came to England. To check understand of the Topic and how is relates to previously learning, the pupils took part in a ‘true or false’ quiz. The pupils went on to learn about settlements and what the Anglo Saxons looked for when finding a settlement. On 1cm squared paper, some pupils had support to draw the map using given measurements to a scale (1cm – 1m). Other pupils took the opportunity to design shields using an iPad app which included patterns linking to their Art topic. To finish the activity, some pupils baked us all Anglo Saxon Oat Cakes.
