--- title: "Year 4 visit Weaver Hall" url: "https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-04-17-15-year-4-visit-weaver-hall" school: "Brookside Primary School" --- # Year 4 visit Weaver Hall ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/0c660793-718d-42c5-a743-3d2a7ce4fd79(1).jpg) 4 February 2026 [Ms Kendal](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/CarolineKendal) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/year-4) Today, Year 4 stepped back in time during an exciting visit to **Weaver Hall Museum**, helping bring their history learning on **Anglo-Saxon Britain** to life. During the workshop, the children explored **why the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain**, discovering the causes and consequences of why the Anglo-Saxons moved to England. Children then investigated what life was like in an **Anglo-Saxon village**, learning about homes, jobs, beliefs and daily routines. A particular highlight of the trip was the chance to examine **artefacts found in an Anglo-Saxon grave**. By studying these carefully, the children were able to piece together clues about the lives, beliefs, and status of the people buried with them—just like real archaeologists. This hands-on experience helped them understand how objects can reveal stories about the past. The children became true history detectives—asking questions, making observations, and forming their own interpretations. ### Anglo-Saxons @ Weaver Hall [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/0f66d824-42c8-4b13-9bbf-c586936dd3d3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/0f66d824-42c8-4b13-9bbf-c586936dd3d3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/0c660793-718d-42c5-a743-3d2a7ce4fd79.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/0c660793-718d-42c5-a743-3d2a7ce4fd79.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/6ad424d6-f811-41dc-9e14-c8865d2c7777.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/6ad424d6-f811-41dc-9e14-c8865d2c7777.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/28e92be7-1759-4197-b7ca-7e5a469ffbaf.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/28e92be7-1759-4197-b7ca-7e5a469ffbaf.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/44ccd1f6-8941-456a-b821-48db265872b1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/44ccd1f6-8941-456a-b821-48db265872b1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/a979f05f-812f-4563-a6c4-d654b064fa6e.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/a979f05f-812f-4563-a6c4-d654b064fa6e.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/361cdbc3-48db-4031-b6b5-e4797af6f8b8.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/361cdbc3-48db-4031-b6b5-e4797af6f8b8.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/a1d856f1-5ebb-4e73-8195-df3da121df5e.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/a1d856f1-5ebb-4e73-8195-df3da121df5e.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/7555bd16-6064-4156-8fe2-43535cda668d.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/7555bd16-6064-4156-8fe2-43535cda668d.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/2015ad34-4586-4f4d-8b2d-0cfa6a59d6cb.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/2015ad34-4586-4f4d-8b2d-0cfa6a59d6cb.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/d733ed11-d0ba-406c-9515-7a783cdaeeed.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/d733ed11-d0ba-406c-9515-7a783cdaeeed.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/d3482d08-aec9-489f-acd0-c8ad6ef5ab46.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/anglo-saxons-weaver-hall/d3482d08-aec9-489f-acd0-c8ad6ef5ab46.jpg) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [History](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/history) [SMSC & Cultural Capital](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/smsc-cultural-capital) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/8e1e3980-33b8-4322-a10c-47e55cc80524.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-04-17-03-anglo-saxon-chess) Previous ### [Anglo-Saxon Chess ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-04-17-03-anglo-saxon-chess) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/image.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-10-11-27-ks2-explore-online-safety-and-the-use-of-ai-on-safer-internet-day) Next ### [KS2 Explore Online Safety and the Use of AI on Safer Internet Day](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-02-10-11-27-ks2-explore-online-safety-and-the-use-of-ai-on-safer-internet-day) ### School Life -
