We learnt that Anglo Saxon Pagans made amulets and used them as lucky charms. They thought they would protect them in battles or stop them from being ill. People wore amulets around their necks or put them in their homes. When the Saxons became Christians they often turned the Pagan temples into churches and made pagan festivals Christian. This stopped pagans using them and showed that Christianity was stronger. Amulets became crosses.
We made amulets and Sarah's one was orange, blue and green in the shape of a banana. Trinny's one was blue in the shape of a hammer.
This is Trinny and Sarah with their amulets. Sarah's banana and Trinny's hammer. 
When were were making them extra children came to Chesnut Class - we had Rowan Class and some of Sycamore Class (a lot of children!!!!!).
