English – research:
Can you use these website to help you research and make notes about the Anglo-Saxons? When we are researching, we scan and skim the text to find the important information and only write down the key notes we need. WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS WORK, KEEP IT SAFE FOR NEXT WEEK.

- Who were the Anglo-Saxons?
- Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade Britain?
- What religion did the Anglo-Saxons follow?
- What were Anglo-Saxon villages and houses like?
- What did the Anglo-Saxons eat and drink?
- Who invaded England after the Anglo-Saxons?
2. Once you have chosen your 4 topics, you will need to:
- Make a research grid on a piece of paper like the one below:
- Complete the topic column with your 4 chosen topics:
- Make notes using the following websites or your own research.

When using a classification key to identify living things, we use yes/no questions.
Can you use this tiger or another animal of your choice to write at least 7 yes/no questions? Write your questions on a piece of paper.
For example:

- Does it have a tail? YES
- Is it an amphibian? NO
