Give me 3 - Anglo-Saxons - Year 5

The "Give me 3!" activity is an engaging challenge tailored for Year 5 pupils studying the Anglo-Saxons, aiming to consolidate their knowledge in a fun and interactive way. In this activity, students are asked to recall three specific aspects related to a given category about the Anglo-Saxons. This exercise serves as a summary challenge for Key Stage 2, helping to reinforce what they have learned about this pivotal period in British history.

Students have the opportunity to earn points for their historical recall, with each correct answer being awarded two points. They are given a 15-minute timeframe to complete the challenge, which encourages quick thinking and recall. Categories might include identifying where the Anglo-Saxons originated from, naming significant figures such as King Alfred, King Canute, and William the Conqueror, or recalling key terms like Sutton Hoo, wergild, thanes, and ceorls. This exercise not only tests their memory but also prompts them to consider the lasting impact of the Anglo-Saxons on contemporary life, helping them to understand the historical significance and influence of this era.
