This term, our learning theme is Divide and Conquer, as we journey back to early medieval Britain to explore the dramatic clashes and clever strategies of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Pupils will discover how these rival groups fought for land, power and control, and how battles, invasions and alliances shaped the country we know today. Through storytelling, historical enquiry and hands-on activities, children will learn how leaders used tactics to divide their enemies, conquer new territories and defend their kingdoms. Along the way, we’ll uncover what everyday life was like, compare beliefs and cultures, and explore how this turbulent period still influences Britain today.
