SummerFilm Project: Introduction to Anglo Saxons - Oscar Hudson

On Thursday 26/07/2018 we began the CRAY Summer Film Project. Pete introduced the project and began by explaining the Saxon invasion. It was very interesting to see where they invaded our country and how they affect our daily lives. Such as: day names and names of counties. We then looked at some old Saxon maps which easily translated onto modern day maps of the area. We also looked at the fall of the Roman empire through coin investigation which made the Britons susceptible to invasion.

Pete then explained the story of Hengest and Horsa, and the battle of Crayford.

In the afternoon the kids got hands on with the film cameras they'll be using for the rest if the week They were taught the basic rules of filming.

These skills will be vital for the rest of the week and they have all excelled. This bodes well for the quality of the film. We are all looking forward to the rest of the project and what the final product will be.
