World Book Day
Owl class had a fabulous day today celebrating WBD. As well as creating their book front cover and a bookmark in the style of Beowulf they had great fun playing and designing their own book bingo and playing book charades. A big well done to Austen who won our creative competition for his entries today. Austin’s winning artwork was a character sewing masterpiece and following our DT sewing topic last half term we loved that Austin had developed his sewing skills even more!

Monday 5th February
In History we have started to investigate how the Anglo Saxon period fits into other periods that we have studied. We studied a map to see how, as the Romans left, other groups of people came and settled in the country. We also created a time-line to show the main events in the Anglo Saxon time period.
