What time period does it fall within?
The project fits neatly within the time frame of Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum – Settlers and Invaders. This period begins with the Early Saxon Settlement, traverses the first Viking raids beginning in 843AD, and ends with the succession of the English Throne to the Normans after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The project is designed to demonstrate the growing power of the Saxons to quell the Viking invaders around the turn of the 11th Century.
