Anglo-Saxon Dig at Skipton School
Mrs Smurthwaite and the Year 5 children discovered an Anglo-Saxon burial site within the Greatwood school grounds. The children used metal detectors and archaeological tools to excavate the site. They found the remains of bones and Anglo-Saxon coins. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience with one child saying 'This is excellent practise for when i'm a palaeontologist.' Mrs Smurthwaite commented that the class are 'an absolute joy. They exude enthusiasm for everything."
