Year 5 had a fantastic day at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village! The children visited the museum, learned about lots of different Anglo-Saxon artefacts and were able to use a lyre to create some music. They were also able to dress in Anglo-Saxon clothes and visit some houses in a replica Anglo-Saxon Village, which were set out as they would have been in Anglo Saxon times. This helped the children to bring to life the work we have been doing in school. As they explored, they became 'investigative archaeologists' as they used their observations to answer questions about the different houses and what objects in them would have been used for. The children were a credit to Westfield School and the teachers were really proud of their behaviour, enthusiasm and knowledge.
