Teaching Tips +

The Sutton Hoo Artefacts investigation works well as an enquiry starter — ask children what the objects tell us before revealing the context. Anglo-Saxon Riddles work well as a literacy link and can be performed as a class. Pea Pottage is a memorable cooking activity — check for allergies in advance. Pairs well with the History Timeline Notebook.
