Our history session today involved highlighting and developing our understanding of Continuity and Change in both Iron Age and Anglo Saxon Houses . We first identified key features of the houses such as building material/construction, hearth, bedding, doors and windows. Then we looked at what had stayed the same ( continuity) and what had changed between the Iron Age and Anglo Saxon periods. Finally the children labelled the key features of an Iron Age house which included a thatched roof, central open fire and wattle and daub sides.
