Year Two Blog

Year 2 Visited Tatton park this week and got caught up in a squabble between two Vikings, Harold Blood-Axe and  Edgar  and Tata, a Saxon. Fortunately they put their arguments to one side so they could teach the children about everyday aspects of Saxon/Viking life.

Below are some photographs of the activities the children did with two captions. One caption is correct and one is not, but which one is which?

A

The cuts to Education spending were beginning to take effect as the children struggled to master the art of writing with a quill pen.

Or B

The children decorated their clay thumb pots and charms in a traditional manner.

 

A

Harold demonstrated how to use a scythe to cut the wheat.

Or B

The teachers were particularly pleased to see the new methods of discipline introduced by the government. All naughty children would have their legs sliced off!

 

A

Joe was not very impressed with the latest Heathfield school uniform.

Or B

Joe tried on a chain mail shirt, similar to the ones worn by the Vikings.

 

A

Nauman had not realised that school meals were so cheap because he had to make them himself.

Or B

Nauman winnowed the wheat by tossing it into the air and catching it in the basket.

A

Even vicious Vikings get homesick sometimes.

Or B

Mckenzie tried on a helmet and shield for size.

A

Harold offered Lucy some deer droppings. Rubbing it on her hands would enable her to hunt deer successfully as they would not be able to smell her.

Or B

Deer Poo! The latest fragrance from Calvin Klein.

A

Kai wondered if he should be worried about the horn growing out of his head.

Or B

Kai tried to imagine what Vikings used the horns of an ox for.

I hope you got all the captions correct. What a great day!
