During the day we learnt how they made brooches. They did this by bending copper into a pattern and hammering it on an anvil, which is a metal plate. Also we span sheep’s wool to make long lengths of wool. Then we did fence weaving with willow to make a fence to keep their animals in.
Later that day we went into the Great Hall where the warriors would have slept. It was very smoky and claustrophobic inside! We also tried saxon bread. Some children didn’t like it, but we thought it was YUMMY!
Finally we built a hunters shelter in the woods. We made an A frame and then lent sticks against it and then covered it in bracken and mud. We were good at this because we cooperated and worked as a team (you can see the photos on the blog).Also we do forest school and build a lot of dens!
It was a great day and we have lots of ideas for our Minecraft world!
