Use this section to record the four main reasons why the Anglo-Saxons  came to Britain. Use the title Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade?

 Use the powerpoint to look at the seven Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms map.

 

At the end of their rule, there was only Wessex left. What Anglo-Saxon Kingdom do you think Stratford would be in? Or London?

If you can ask an adult, you can print off , label and colour in the kingdoms.

Can you remember the Roman timelines? Whilst the Anglo-Saxons were in Britain, the Vikings invaded too, but we will focus on the Vikings after Easter.

 

Using the timeline cards on the powerpoint, ask an adult to print them off. Cut them up and order the Anglo – Saxon events on a timeline.

Talk to someone as to why you have chosen your order.
