Wizards: This week the wizards have been on a fantastic trip to Oxford to explore primary sources of evidence in connection with their Anglo-Saxon history studies. They attended workshops at the Museum of Oxford looking at Anglo-Saxon artefacts found in Oxford.

They visited the Ashmolean museum and saw the Alfred Jewel thought to be made for King Alfred. They visited the shrine of Anglo-Saxon princess and saint - Frideswide in Christchurch College.

Dragons: The Dragons have been studying the Vikings, the invaders that the Anglo-Saxons fought with. There has been a lot of study of the similarities and differences between the periods and people of those times. They enjoyed re-enacting a 'beserk' charge with shields. 

The Shire: The Shire have been looking at the Victorian era with their focus on Beatrix Potter. They have been comparing a Victorian childhood with their own. They looked at the significant effect Beatrix had on the National trust, land use, farming and trade.
