Invaders and Settlers
This is a history topic. The theme for this half term is invaders and settlers. We will find out why Romans left Britain and the impact it had on the country. We will learn about some of the invaders and settlers that came soon after the Romans left - and the reasons they came to Britain. We will learn about the impact the Anglo Saxons had on Britain including the spread of Christianity, settlements and Anglo-Saxon laws.
