Year 5 at the GREAT hall!

Yesterday, Year 5 went to the Great Hall in Winchester to see the round table hanging on the wall, that is fabled to have been used by King Arthur and his knights during Saxon times.  We took part in lots of activities to help us understand more about some of the stories told about theses times, before visiting the Cathedral for a Guided Tour.  Here we learnt about when the Cathedral was built and how it has changed since Saxon times.  We also found out about many famous Saxons, including St Swithun who was the Bishop of Winchester.  We ended our visit with an opportunity to sketch some of the beautiful architecture at the Cathedral, applying some of the skills that we have been working on in Art this term.  Thank you to all the helpers who made this trip possible.
