We have had a super day at Sutton Hoo. On arrival we saw just how the big the ship was and the children were astonished at how long it was. then, we went into the exhibition hall. The children looked at all the things in the exhibition hall and were absolutely fascinated by all the amazing artefacts. The children laid on the floor to see if they were taller than King Raedwald; they weren't, but Mrs Cockerill was! Tranmer House, where the children learnt about Edith Pretty and then the burial mound tour - which was super! The part of the site where the warrior and his his horse were found. The stones represented where each grave was. The children were asked to be respectful at the burial mounds as this was an area where the Anglo-Saxon's had been laid to rest. We packed a lot into the day - On the trail we saw the wooden sculptures that had the mythical images that are on the shield and the mask. They were dotted around the trail. We did den building and tree climbing. Whilst at the burial mounds, the starlings were doing their murmoration, which the children found really interesting as they twisted and turned in their flocks. Usually they do this at dusk, so it was lovely to watch. My photos do it no justice!
