AUTUMN TERM THEME-RAIDERS AND TRADERS
Did you know that Britain has been invaded many times? We will be working in our Anglo-Saxon and Viking eras this term as we find out about how these invaders settled and changed the country we now live in.
Did Vikings really have horned helmets?
Why did they decide to stay here?
What was Hemel Hempstead like during that time?
How far did they travel?
How did they use materials to help them travel?
Is the Thor in the films the same as the Thor in the myths?
Who was King Alfred? Did he really burn the cakes?
What did a Saxon or Viking have for breakfast?
How does Saxon and Viking art inspire designs now?
All of these questions and many more will be looked at. For more detail about what we will be learning please look at the overview at the bottom of this page.
If you have any questions please pop a note in your child's red book and we will get back to you as soon as possible... that is if we are not off discovering new lands :)
