This BUNDLE allows children to learn about Viking raids on monasteries in Northern England - and the 793 CE attack on Lindisfarne in particular. The persuasive text can be written from the perspective of a Monk or a Viking, and is meant to persuade (or dissuade) their audience - either Monks or Vikings - from trading with or plundering a Monastery. The narrative text can be written from the perspective of a Monk or a Viking during the raid of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in North East England in 793 CE. In the past, I have introduced this lesson dressed as a Monk in a Monastery with the lights off and candles lit. I play audio in the background of Monks singing (link provided) before acting frightened at the arrival of Vikings coming ashore (link provided). An editable digital link for sharing on Google Classroom and Seesaw available with download.

Children will look at the history of Vikings in the UK as well as their importance. They will look at their impact as well as impressions through different sources before using chronology to analyse changes over time. This pack includes lesson plans, rubrics, and editable rubrics to support with the learning process. Lessons and objectives are aligned with objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum of England. A digital copy for editing and sharing on digital platforms is available with download.

Children will look at different symbols significant to the Vikings and will design a tshirt including the symbols. They will then write an explanation text that describes the different symbols included, as well as the reasons for the design choices. In the past, this unit has worked really well at the end of a Viking study, where the children can show off what they’ve learned.

Resources for researching different monsters are provided. This unit follows the 2014 National Curriculum of England’s Design Technology objectives.
