This is a 'short' unit which combines work on
Romans,
Anglo-Saxons and
Vikings in Britain (Units 6A-C in the history scheme of work) with geographical work on the development of settlements. It introduces children to how settlements develop over time and how early settlers provided many of the settlements we use today. It can be used as a geographical study within a history unit or later to revisit work previously completed in history.
This unit is particularly suited to children who are not skilled at extended writing, but have developed a higher level of geographical skills. Children can work in small groups when using maps and individually when designing their own village, which can provide an assessment activity.
The unit is based on a study of a village in Lincolnshire, but the activities can be adapted for other locations.
