Traders and Raiders

Project overview

Develop children’s knowledge of Britain’s early invaders and settlers with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced history project, Traders and Raiders. Our high-quality teaching resources help children learn about Anglo-Saxon and Viking culture, chronology and key events.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
