Task 1: Do Now

Use box 1 on the Knowledge Organiser to help you fill in the blanks.

Task 2: Dates on the timeline

This term we are learning about the Anglo-Saxons. Sometimes, we will just call

them ‘Saxons.’

We learned a lot of about them last term too. We learned when the time

period happened. Add this information to the timeline on the next page!

Today’s focus knowledge is Box 2a and 2b.

Task 3: Watch this video

Scan the QR code and watch the video.

40

Task 4: Read this text

The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 410. New

people came in ships across the North Sea – the

Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxon age in Britain was

from around AD410 to 1066.

They were a mix of tribes from Germany, Denmark

and the Netherlands. The three biggest were the

Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The land they

settled in was 'Angle-land', or England.

If we use the modern names for the countries

they came from, the Saxons were German-

Dutch, the Angles were southern Danish, and the

Jutes were northern Danish.

Growing up in an Anglo-Saxon village

Anglo-Saxon children had to grow up very quickly. By the time they were ten, they

were seen as an adult. They had to work as hard as any adult and would be

punished as adults if they stole or broke the law.

Girls worked in the home. They were in charge of housekeeping, weaving cloth,

cooking meals, making cheese and brewing ale.

Boys learned the skills of their fathers. They learned to

chop down trees with an axe, plough a field, and use

a spear in battle. They also fished and went hunting

with other men from the village.

Only a few girls and boys learned to read and write.

The sons of kings or wealthy families might be taught at

home by a private teacher. The only schools were run

by the Christian church, in monasteries. Some children

lived there to train as monks and nuns.

What jobs did the Anglo-Saxons do?

Life on an Anglo-Saxon farm was hard work. All the family had to help out - men,

women and children.

Men cut down trees to clear land for ploughing and to sow crops. Farmers used

oxen to pull ploughs up and down long strip fields. Children with dogs herded

cattle and sheep.

41

The Anglo-Saxons were great craftsmen too. Metalworkers made iron tools, knives

and swords. The Anglo-Saxons were skilled jewellers, who made beautiful

brooches, beads and ornaments from gold, gemstones and glass.

The Anglo-Saxons had armies, but their soldiers didn't fight all the time. After a

battle, they went home as soon as they could and looked after their animals and

crops.

Task 5: Answer the questions

1) Which three countries did the new settlers come from?

2) At what age did Saxon children become adults?

3) What sort of people learned to read and write?

4) What jobs did Anglo-Saxons do?

Chocolate Factory’.

Hint: Some examples of the features are underlined! How many can you identify?

Augustus Gloop was a greedy, revolting boy He was so enormously fat that he looked as though he had been blown up with a powerful pump. His chubby cheeks were ruby-red and he had an enormous smile, which was spread across his brown, chocolate smeared face. His chocolate-stained shirt stretched across his stomach and the buttons were bursting at the seams. In the middle of his face, he had two greedy eyes, which were as round as chocolate buttons.

Challenge: Which tense is this character description written in? __________________

3. Look carefully at these pictures of Grendel. Add labels to the pictures to describe

what you can see. For example, sharp, pointy nails.

4. Describe him to someone at home. What does he look like? How does he behave?

47

5. Use this table to plan words, phrases and sentence openers for your character
