Anglo Saxon Settlements.

This half term I would like you to build a 3D model of an Anglo Saxon Settlement. You can be as creative as you like but it should be based on the set up of a real life Anglo Saxon village. 

When you  return, you will need to be able to speak about your settlement and discuss the different parts of the village. 

The deadline for this project is 12th Decemeber 2022

Beneath are some useful websites to support the children with their learning.

Other websites you might like to access are:

Pobble which is fantastic for writing tasks

Literacy Shed which has a range of pictures and other ideas for writing based around videos

Once upon a picture which can be used to develop inference skills

Topmarks which can be used for maths games

NRich for maths investigations

Math is fun for maths games

Please ensure you use times table rockstars to support the children to learn their times tables - specifically the 'Soundcheck' mode. Continue to read your books daily where possible.
