Home Education Session Anglo Saxons and Vikings

Anglo Saxons & Vikings (KS2) Our session on Anglo Saxons and Vikings details how the two groups lived side by side, whilst challenging some misconceptions. We look at evidence left by the two groups in Bedford. The children will have the opportunity to handle artefacts and try to work out which belonged to Vikings and which belonged to Anglo Saxon people using clues they pick up during the session and drawing on their prior knowledge. They will also have a go at writing messages using runic writing. The session ends with a fashion show where the children use what they have learnt to identify whether the people before them are Anglo Saxon or Viking. This session supports learning objectives in the KS2 curriculum relating to History, English Speaking and Listening as a guide to the content level of the session. All children attending the workshop need to be accompanied by an adult. The sup
