Following from the Year 4 topic, we will be exploring what happened to Britain after the Roman rule. Our first topic in Year 5 will be on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings! Through both non-fiction and fiction texts such as Viking Voyages and Beowulf, we will be travelling back in time to explore life in Britain after AD410.
To get us started, I have some questions for you to think about!
Think questions:
- What do you know about Anglo-Saxons and Vikings? Do you know the difference between them?
- Can you think of any books or films where they portray Anglo-Saxons and Vikings? What are their characteristics?
- What do the words “invaders” and “settlers” mean to you?
- Is there anything in particular that you want to find out?
Let’s have a great first term learning together!
