On Thursday Year 4 visited the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to find out more about the Anglo Saxons. When we first arrived, we headed to the Anglo Saxon gallery to try and solve the mystery of the Staffordshire Hoard. We used our activity pack to identify mystery artefacts and answer questions about what they might be. We also learnt how Anglo-Saxons relaxed by dressing up in their clothes and heading to the Mead Hall to play games. After this, we headed to the education room to take part in a history workshop. We became archaeologists and excavated artefacts from the sand to find out more.

It was a great day and we will soon be producing some fantastic writing and art work linked to our trip.
