How much Wergild are Year 6 owed?

 In Year 6, our History unit is based on Crime & Punishment.

This week we were looking at the Anglo-Saxons and the way they managed crime.

The children learnt that the Anglo-Saxons used shillings and a lot of the punishments used were fines.

Each group was given a series of 'crimes' they had suffered, such as a broken nose and had to use a grid to find out how much the victim was owed.

It was a great activity and practice of the children working in a group together!
