Today we started our new History unit on why the Vikings invaded Britain.
We started by looking at our previous history units: Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon Britain.
Next we placed key events on a timeline starting with when the Romans invaded back in BC 55, all the way through to the Vikings arriving at Lindisfarne in AD 793.
The children focused in on the Viking timeline, creating their own in groups, adding key dates and events up until when Edward the Confessor (Anglo-Saxon) became King of England in AD 1042.
