Questions addressed in this lesson were
• What would you expect archaeologists to find at Sutton Hoo?
• Why is it important to describe objects precisely?
Children developed their language skills by describing the artefacts in as much detail as they could. Large coloured photographs of the Sutton Hoo treasures were used.
Class discussion prepared the children for producing their own report on a chosen artefact.
