History: Anglo-Saxons

To analyse and describe Anglo-Saxon artefacts and explain what they can teach us about Anglo-Saxon culture.

Read through the attached PowerPoint with your child and ask them to make comments on some/all of the artefacts. Feel free to allow your child to research a particular artefact.

Group 1 & 2: Draw and annotate one of the Anglo-Saxon artefacts from the Lesson Presentation using your notes to help you.

I hope you all enjoy today's work!

Take care everyone.
