Year 5's sorting activity yesterday helped them to explore some of the reasons why the Anglo Saxons invaded Britain in AD450.  Were they pushed?  Or were they pulled?  Their constant flooding, and having to rebuild their homes, was a huge factor in them being pushed to come to Britain.  Year 5 discovered that the Anglo Saxons wanted a better way of life for their families so they were pulled by the better climate for growing crops and the knowledge that the Britains had precious metals and jewellery!  Fantastic, sensible and intelligent discussions helped us all to understand more about the Anglo Saxons.  Mrs Blomeley
