This half-term we have been learning about life as an Anglo-Saxon. During this lesson our focus was ‘What do the Anglo-Saxons believe?’ We learnt that the Anglo-Saxons were originally pagans, which means they believed in many gods and that they were later converted to Christianity with help from a monk named Augustine. We discussed how the Anglo-Saxons sometimes wore lucky charms called amulets and that they believed these amulets would protect them from harm. In year 4 Maple, we’ve had the chance to make our own amulet designs from clay. We thought carefully about what the shape and design on our amulet would symbolise. Traditionally the amulets are made from copper, iron, silver and gold so we chose to paint ours in these colours.
