The Anglo-Saxons topic provides an engaging and interactive way for Key Stage Two students to explore early medieval Britain, combining clear historical narrative with creative, hands-on tasks such as building Anglo-Saxon village models, designing coins, and sequencing key events on a timeline so children can connect classroom learning with practical, memorable experiences. These activities help contextualise invasions, settlement, kingship, and everyday life, making them more tangible for young learners while also developing transferable skills such as teamwork, geographical reasoning, observation, and problem-solving. By incorporating art, design and technology, mapwork, and literacy through tasks like reading artefact evidence or writing from a villager’s perspective, this cross-curricular approach keeps students engaged, supports multiple learning styles, and encourages them to think critically about how the Anglo-Saxons shaped the history, language, and place names of Britain.
