Our Year 1 and 2 pupils had an incredible time this week diving into History and RE during our Venerable Bede Workshop! It was a day filled with imagination, monastic robes, and some very interesting hairstyles.

Highlights from the Day:
​Life Before the Monastery: Some of our children stepped into the shoes of young Anglo-Saxons. They explored what life was like for Bede before the age of seven, imagining his world before he began his journey at the monastery.
​Monastic Makeovers: Others took on a more solemn role, dressing up as monks in their traditional habits and cowls.
​Creative Crafts: The children got hands-on by making their very own miniature monks, complete with authentic outfits and—the star of the show—the iconic tonsure hairdos!

​We are so proud of how Classes 5 and 6 engaged with our local history ans current RE topic. The level of curiosity and creativity was truly inspiring!

What’s Next?
​The excitement isn’t over yet! We can’t wait for Class 7 to have their turn at this exciting workshop next week. Get ready to travel back to the 7th century!
