***POWRPOINT, PRINTABLES, ACTIVITIES, LESSON PLAN and DIFFERENTIATED TASKS*** This resource has been a gem to start off our topic on the Vikings. Children begin this topic by coming up with a bank of questions that they want to know about the Vikings. This stimulates the children's interest within the upcoming topic and gets their creative juices flowing. This activity is then followed by asking children to discuss what they think a Viking looks like from what they've heard. The powerpoint can be used as a support to give children a basic insight into the Vikings and where they came from. Next, children are instructed to sort (in groups of 4) 10 statements into piles of true or false. This allows some group discussion and 'talk for understanding' to take place. (I always love to hear children's take on the Vikings). Finally, children are then introduced to how a longship looks in an interactive/game-like manner. It requires them to "sneak up" on a Viking and spy on their ship, then report back to their friends on what they look like. It's lots of fun and a great way to spark interest in a new topic.

This lesson is designed as an KS3 introductory module called ‘Invaders and Settlers AD43 - 1066’. It provides an overview of the Viking invasions and their impact on Anglo Saxon England. There is also a focus on the decline and rise again of towns and education, which is a theme which is returned to in other KS3 modules on medieval towns and industrialisation 1750 - 1900. The tasks and activities included in this module are suitable for the full range of ability at KS3 and are designed as a bridge or transition from KS2. One of the activities is on the origin of place names and makes a nice rounding off activity for the theme invaders and settlers, before starting the Norman Conquest. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Why was England invaded and settled from 40 AD to 1066? Know: Who were the Vikings and why did they come to Britain? Understand: : How did Alfred the Great defeat the Vikings? Evaluate: What impact did the Vikings invasions have on Britain? Skills: Cause, Consequence, Evaluation and Judgement WILF – What Am I Looking For? Identify & describe: Who were the Vikings and why did they come to Britain? Explain: How did Alfred the Great defeat the Vikings? Analyse: What impact did the Vikings invasions have on Britain?

Here’s how to make a Viking head out of clay with video demonstrations and easy to follow, child friendly, step by step instructions. This project can be used alongside a history topic or just as something fun to make! This project is suitable for children aged 7 (Year 2) and upwards. If you are new to clay, allow a whole afternoon to make this project if you can. This project is made using four basic shapes, a ball, a bean, a sausage and a carrot shape. There is also a video included demonstrating how to make these shapes. This project also works as a one to one activity or in small groups. It is also one of my favourite projects as every Viking head I have ever seen made by a child looks different. I have put some examples of children’s work in with the information for teachers.
