Year 3 classes were delighted to invite Eric Ericsson to Anson Primary to tell them more about what it was like to be an Anglo-Saxon. He brought a host of amazing animal skins, clothing, jewellery, tools, games, armour and weapons which the children got to touch, try on and ask questions about. They also learnt about Anglo-Saxon families, medicine, trials and battle cries as you can see in this video.

Alexandra Class used Anti-bullying week in November 2019 to explore what bullying looks like and how we can prevent it starting as well as what we could do if we see it happening.

Science - What happens to your heart rate when you exercise?
We have been learning about our skeletons and muscles and how they support us, protect us and help us move. We also conducted investigations into the relationship between our heart rate and exercise.

We have been exploring our class rules through drama.
We have been exploring our favourite books and different things that we read every day.
