Preparing for the Anglo-Saxons Workshop

The workshop will start at about 9.45. I will arrive about 9.15 and start setting up for the craft activities.

1

If you have an interactive whiteboard please have it set up so I can display my photos

2

Make sure the tables are arranged in groups of four or six seats. Please cover all the tables in advance (ideally with plastic sheets). Also please put out some of the art materials on the tables (see below).

3

I will need 4 children (and an adult if possible) to help me set up from 9.15 to 9.45 and also over lunch. The class will need to be out of the room at this time.

4

Please assign the children into pairs who will be able to assist each other with the craft activities.

5

Please arrange for at least two assistants to help the children make the artefacts. The activities are challenging and the more helpers you can get the better. I suggest asking parents to come in – we have found that parents always enjoy the activities and feel good about helping the class.

6

Please ensure the following items are present in the classroom on the day of the visit. Please put out the pencils, scissors, rulers, glue sticks and glue spreaders on the tables in advance.
