Saxon weaving

Here we are doing Saxon weaving. We got some wool and tied it round the card at the back. Then we got a long piece of wool to weave with. We used lots of different colours. When we got to the bottom we cut the spare wool off.

Making pots

We have been making Saxon pots from clay as part of our topic. First we made them into a ball and then we made the sides to make a pot shape. Using clay tools we made some patterns. Then we left them to dry.

Woodland sponsored walk and the mysterious giant egg.

 Our school woodland walk and the egg discovery


One morning we did a woodland walk in the deep, dark wood.  We were doing a sponsored walk to raise money for the child we sponsor in the Gambia.  Her name is Fatou.  Whilst we  were walking we saw a ginormous egg in the middle of the wood. The egg had nails in it and a girl named  Peri threw a stick at the egg it, it made metal noise...

BANG, BANG, BANG!

The egg!

We looked for clues, we found some footprints. Peri thought that it was fake although it had police tape around it. 

Chestnut and Rowan Classes went back later to investigate.  They found a wooden person and it made them wonder if whatever laid the egg was a bit like Medusa but instead of turning people to stone it turns them to wood!  A child was missing from Chestnut Class today, had she been turned to wood?

The egg is still there, what will hatch out of it?  These are questions we are still wondering about...
