This week, the children are looking at name and locate counties and cities of the United Kingdom, geographical regions.
Using the map below, they had fun locating places.
The last Roman soldiers left Britain by AD410. New people came to Britain in ships across the North Sea – the Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxon age in Britain was from around AD410 to 1066.
- The Anglo-Saxons 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 became known as 'Angle-land', or England.
- They brought Germanic languages and new customs and dress.
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. They arrived over a number of decades.
