National Curriculum Key Stage 2: History

Discover the stories of Harewood’s Anglo-Saxon past in our inspiring, character-led workshop.

Your pupils will be transported back in time to the year 1065, where they will meet three Anglo-Saxon Chieftains still living on Harewood land – Tor, Sprot and Grim.

Through practical and fun activities based in our learning space and across our Gardens and Grounds, pupils will learn about Anglo-Saxon art and culture, Britain’s conversion to Christianity and will even try their luck as a Anglo-Saxon warrior.

Activities include:

Make an Anglo-Saxon brooch

Plan an Anglo-Saxon settlement

Learn about the conversion to Christianity

Train as an Anglo-Saxon warrior

All the activities are super engaging and well-timed, they learned a lot from the team while having fun. This is what we want to achieve in a school trip!”
