Autumn 1

This half term our topic will be centred around the Anglo-Saxons.  We will answer the following questions:

-Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade and how can we possibly know where they settled?

-What does the mystery of the empty grave tell us about Saxon Britain?

-How did people's lives change when Christianity came to Britain and how can we be sure?

-How were the Saxons able to see off the Viking threat?

-Just how great was King Alfred, really?

-Just how effective was Saxon Justice?
