    Autumn Term 1 and Term 2

    Our topic in Term 1 and Term 2 is: 

    The Vikings!

     

    In History, our key question will be – Were the Vikings raiders or settlers?  ​This is the key knowledge (also known as sticky knowledge) that we will be learning:

     

    • I know that the Vikings came from the area where Scandinavian countries are today.​
    • I know that not all Vikings were warriors, many were traders, explorers and farmers. ​
    • I know that Danegeld was a system where Anglo-Saxon Kings would pay the Vikings to make sure they did not attack their kingdoms. ​
    • I know that the Vikings carried out a violent raid on Lindisfarne Monastery. ​
    • I know that Vikings did not wear horns on their helmets.
