Term 1&2 - Peace and Conflict

Our key question: 'Can Conflict be good?'

As historians...

children will begin to know who the Anglo-Saxons and Scots were and describe their invasions and settlement in Britain. They will examine Anglo-Saxon art and culture and find out about place names and village life.

In addition, the children will explore the Viking raids and invasions, the resistance by Alfred the Great and Athelstan, Danegald and the struggle for the kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor, including his death in 1066.

As Geographers...

children will focus on how the Viking and Saxon settlements have shaped the geography and topography of Britain and will consider where our town and county names come from.
