This week, choose one of the activities below (or even do them all!) 

• Research and find out about any Saxon or Viking invasions in our local area, or any area of the UK.

• Try making Anglo-Saxon bread or Viking flatbread (search online for recipes).

• Look at King Alfred’s pledge: ‘I desired to live worthily as long as I lived, and to leave after my life, to the men who should come after me, the memory of me in good works’. Write a pledge – how would you like to be remembered in the future?
