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:

  1. What do you know about Anglo-Saxons and Vikings? Do you know the difference between them?
  2. Can you think of any books or films where they portray Anglo-Saxons and Vikings? What are their characteristics?
  3. What do the words “invaders” and “settlers” mean to you?
  4. Is there anything in particular that you want to find out?

Let’s have a great first term learning together!
