You might have noticed that the Anglo-Saxons were fairly self-sufficient and people in the villages took on different job roles such as being; farmers, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, potters and bread bakers etc. There was much textile production and work with leather too. Could you research one of these skills carried out by the Anglo-Saxons. Children in the past have also enjoyed having a go at one of these activities.
- Growing plants/Looking after animals
- Working with metal, leather and wood.
- Weaving, dyeing, felting, sewing etc
- Pottery
- Baking etc
Last year this was set as a mini topic over half-term. You could spend an hour or several looking into one of these areas if it interests you...or not at all. There is no pressure to complete any of the work. Look after yourselves and have a great half-term.

What have we been up to this week?
W/C Monday 4th May - 4 Day week
Dear Parents and Carers
I am delighted to announce a Lincolnshire School Games Virtual Event: ‘Primary Athletics – Home Pentathlon’ This is available, free of charge, for all children in all Primary Schools.
For this competition the children will need to complete the 5 athletics events, keeping a record of their best scores on their score sheet (this is also in the attached document). To enter the event they will need to click on the entry form link in the document; click here to see the form or use this link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=4I_ewOP1L06Lz_HFSzjyi-eZLGK4191Mryh5rjGLpLNUNENTVEFSWUVYV1NLSzJUVUhGVDlNNkM2MSQlQCN0PWcu. From here you will need to input some information then attach a link to their score sheet. Our school games organiser is MATT EVANS - LINCS CENTRAL. The information will go to the school games organisers who will keep track of entries and scores. Your child's entries do not need to be published on social media, but if you choose to please ensure a parent posts on their behalf. There is more safeguarding advice in the attachment
They have until the end of next week to submit their content before moving on to the next event in the series. A selection of the best entries in my area will go up against those selected by the other 7 School Games Organisers towards a county final event.
I really hope you can get behind this and keep our young people in some sort of sporting competition during this unprecedented time.
Good luck
Mr Hickerton

Spring Term
Our Spring Term has certainly seen our classroom transformed once more with vibrant burst of colour as we compare and contrast life in Navenby to a village in India, Chembakoli. Whilst tackling location and climate, we will also be unpicking the processes at work in the water cycle, creating explanatory text to show our understanding. This learning will be enhance be further investigation into the nature of solids, liquids and gases! Our India topic is also centred round respecting and celebrating differences as we investigate the beliefs and practises of the Hindu Faith, decorating our own classroom shrine with images of Hindu Gods and artefacts. The walls will also be adorned with the steps towards successfully designing Indian Block Print Cushions and the creation of Indian Music Samples as we explore Rag, Tala and Drone!! We looked forward to visit from a range of people in our community to support our learning such as a local gardener explaining how to grow our own herbs, Sunita Patel returning with the Indian Experience, a Dental Practitioner advising us on tooth care and a number of local authors discussing the writing process during World Book Week. Plenty to look forward to!
