St James School Newsletter

14th January

Reading this week's newsletter, your editor was interested to find that Ruby class have been looking at the poorly understood and almost undocumented period of British history after the Romans left and before the occupying Saxons accepted Christianity and the reading and writing skills that came with it.

Ruby Class- In History, we have been writing invitations from King Vortigern of the Britons to Hengist & Horsa of the Saxons to help him send the Picts north of Hadrian's Wall (now that the Romans have left to fight the Visigoths). After our discussion of these events, the children re-enacted the battles and alliances through the medium of dodgeball and tested their knowledge via a Kahoot quiz on the subject.

I wish my school history had had some dodgeball in the syllabus!
