This practical webinar will give an academic overview of the substantive knowledge needed to teach the Viking period at KS2 from the first raid on Lindisfarne in 793 to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Advice will also be given on shaping a medium-term plan with rigorous enquiry questions, focused on disciplinary concepts and with suggested activities that would help pupils to answer the questions set. Reference will be made to local history and sites that can be woven into the study unit.
