Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping, and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about Britain's settlement by Anglo-Saxons.

What changed after the Romans left? So shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you're going to be able to explain how the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes came to Britain.

Before we start though, I would like to introduce you to some keywords.

We'll be using these keywords during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write those down.

The key words we'll be using today are seaborne, migrate and fearsome.

I'm gonna to say those again and I would like you to repeat after me.

Seaborne, migrate, fearsome.

Good job, let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean.

Let's take a look at these definitions.

Seaborne people are those that transport or travel by sea.

To migrate is to move from one place to another.

Someone who is fearsome is frightening or terrifying.

Pause the video here to make a note of the keywords and when you're ready to continue, press Play.

These are the learning cycles that we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

There are three learning cycles, the end of Roman rule, the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, how the Anglo-Saxons took control.

In the first learning cycle, we're going to explore the end of Roman rule.

In the early 400s, the Roman Empire was still very large.

It stretched as far as Africa and the Middle East.

However, this made it difficult to defend, and by 410 CE, the Empire was struggling with attacks from German tribes in other parts of the Empire, and attacks from the Scots and Picts in Britain.

The Roman Emperor Honorius decided that the Romans should leave Britain so they could help defend other parts of the Empire.

Some historians believe that Britains were unhappy that the Roman soldiers were leaving because it meant that Britain was now vulnerable to more attacks.

With the Romans gone, the remaining tribes in Britain were left to govern themselves.

Many Britains were worried about what the future might hold and it was not long before they faced a threat from across the water.

Let's take a moment to think.

The Roman Empire has spread outside of Europe by the 400s CE.

Is that true or false? Take a moment to think.

What do you think, true or false? That is indeed true.

So how do we justify our answer? The Roman Empire stretched to parts of Africa and the Middle East.

The Roman Empire stretched to parts of Asia and the Americas.

Talk to your partner.

Can you justify your answer? Which of these sentences helps to do that? If you said, the Roman Empire stretched to parts of Africa and the Middle East, that's correct, well done.

(mouse clicks) Let's look at the second question.

In what year did the Romans leave Britain? Was it 400 CE, 410 CE, 420 CE? Hmm, which was it? If you said 410 CE, that's correct, well done.

So I would like you to look at this first learning task now.

Starting with the earliest event, can you put these events in order? So they're all jumbled up at the moment.

I'll read through each of the events.

Roman soldiers left Britain to defend the Empire elsewhere.

The Roman Empire covered most of Western and Southern Europe and parts of Africa and the Middle East.

The Roman Empire struggled against attacks from German tribes.

Emperor Honorius decided the Romans should leave Britain.

There were many attacks on Britain by the Picts and Scots due to the lack of Roman soldiers.

So I would like you to pause the video now and either talk to your partner and talk through each of the events in the correct order.

Or if you'd like to, you could write them down in the correct order.

It's up to you.

When you're ready, press Play to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look? So the correct order of those events are as follows.

The Roman Empire covered most of Western and Southern Europe and parts of Africa and the Middle East.

The Roman Empire struggled against attacks from German tribes.

Roman soldiers left Britain to defend the Empire elsewhere.

(mouse clicks) There were many raids on Britain by the Picts and Scots due to the lack of Roman soldiers.

And Emperor Honorius decided the Romans should leave Britain.

Well done if you got those events in the correct order.

(mouse clicks) Let's move on to the second part of this lesson, the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.

In parts of Western and Central Europe, the lands of the Angle, Saxon and Jute tribes were often flooded.

This made farming very difficult and so these tribes had to start looking for a new home and for better farmland elsewhere.

Britain was known to have excellent farmland and it seemed like it would be the perfect place to migrate to, especially because the Romans were no longer defending it, and the Britains were not very good or fearsome fighters.

(mouse clicks) These tribes saw their chance and began to attack the east coast of Britain.

They were seaborne people and so arrived in Britain via boats from their lands in modern day Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

(mouse clicks) Historians call the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes that arrived in Britain after the Romans left the Anglo-Saxons.

This name is used.

(mouse clicks) Historians call the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes arrived in Britain after the Romans left the Anglo-Saxons.

This name is used to describe all three of the tribes, not just the Angles and the Saxons.

Let's take a moment to check our understanding.

What was it about Britain that attracted the Anglo-Saxon tribes? Was it A, the people, B, the wealth, or C, the farmland? Have a moment to to think.

If you said the farmland, that's absolutely right.

Can you remember that their farmland was quite flooded? So I would like you to have a look at the blanks on this screen, in this sentence.

Can you fill them in with the words below? The Anglo-Saxons were people, which meant that they could travel by boat to Britain.

Hmm, what words, seaborne, farmers, or migrate go into those spaces? Pause the video, take a moment to think, talk to your partner.

Which words would you put in those gaps? If you put the words seaborne and migrate in, that's absolutely right.

Let's have a look.

The Anglo-Saxons were seaborne people, which meant that they could travel by boat to migrate to Britain.

Good job if you got those correct words in those gaps.

(mouse clicks) Let's take a look at this statement.

Only two tribes that arrived in Britain after the Romans left are called the Anglo-Saxons.

Is that true or false? Hmm, what do you think? Well, if you said false, that's absolutely right.

Well done, but how do we justify our answer? Historians use the name Anglo-Saxons to describe the Angle and Saxon tribes or historians use the name Anglo-Saxons to describe the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes.

Have a quick discussion with your partner.

What do you think? If you said historians use the name Anglo-Saxons to describe the Angle, Saxon and Jute tribes, that's absolutely right, well done.

That was the three tribes, not two of them.

Let's have a go at one of our second learning tasks.

I would like you to pause the video here to give yourself enough time to give one reason why the Anglo-Saxons left their land.

And give two reasons why the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain.

Hmm, you might want to write those down.

One reason why the Anglo-Saxons left their land and two reasons why the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain.

You could have a discussion with your partner or you could write them down.

It's up to you.

When you're ready, press Play to continue.

How did that go? Could you give those reasons? Let's have a look at what you could've written.

So the Anglo-Saxons left their farmland because it often flooded.

Did you remember that? Well done if you did.

Now the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain because it had very good farmland and because the Romans had gone, so there was no good or fearsome warriors left to defend it.

Well done if you wrote something similar.

We're ready to move on to the third part of this lesson, how the Anglo-Saxons took control, hmm.

Archaeologists have found evidence that the Anglo-Saxons were fearsome warriors.

In many of the places where the Anglo-Saxons buried their dead.

Archaeologists have found swords, helmets and shields.

Anglo-Saxons were buried with these things to show that the person who died had been an excellent warrior.

It was very important to them to be seen this way because the Anglo-Saxons had a very fearsome reputation.

People across Europe were scared of them.

Some Anglo-Saxon tribes had even been invited to Britain by the Romans to help defend their cities against the Scots and Picts in 380 CE because the Romans knew that the Anglo-Saxons' fearsome fighting skills would help them win.

After helping the Romans, many of the Anglo-Saxons decided to stay in Britain.

Some Anglo-Saxons returned home to Europe, but later came back to Britain with their families and communities once the Romans had left.

When the Anglo-Saxon tribes first attacked the east coast of England, it was not long until they took over large amounts of Southern Britain because the Britains were not as skilled and fearsome warriors as the Anglo-Saxons.

Soon after the Romans left, the Anglo-Saxons used force to successfully make parts of Britain their new home.

Now let's take a moment to check our understanding.

How do archaeologists know that Anglo-Saxons were fearsome warriors? Is it A, they have found evidence written in a history book? B, they have found evidence of Anglo-Saxon weapons? Or C, they have found evidence of places the Anglo-Saxons buried their dead.

Hmm, take a moment to think.

How do archaeologists know the Anglo-Saxons were fearsome warriors? If you said that they have found evidence of Anglo-Saxon weapons, you're absolutely right.

Can you remember that they found swords and helmets? I bet that was a fascinating find.

(mouse clicks) Let's look at this statement now.

The Anglo-Saxons were invited to Britain by the Romans.

Is that true or false? Were they invited by the Romans? Hmm, if you said true, that's correct, well done.

Why were they invited? How can we justify our answer? They were invited by the Romans to help with farming.

They were invited by the Romans to help fight the Picts and Scots.

How can we justify our answer of the Anglo-Saxons being invited to Britain? Have a discussion with your partner and when you're ready, let's check out what the answer is.

If you said that they were invited by the Romans to help fight the Picts and Scots, that's absolutely right, well done.

(mouse clicks) That brings us to our final learning task of the lesson.

So I want you to use all of the knowledge that you've learned today and create a flow chart to explain how the Anglo-Saxons were able to take control of Britain.

So you can use as many steps as you like and the following to help you.

So you can see we have boxes and arrows and that shows the flow chart of the different events.

We've got words like Picts and Scots, invited, 410 CE, fearsome and flooded, which should help you remember how the Anglo-Saxons were able to take control of Britain.

So grab yourself some paper and a pen and have a go at creating a flow chart and you could talk to your partner about those different events and those different steps to create that flow chart.

Pause the video and when you're ready to continue, press Play.

How did that go? Shall we have a look at what a flow chart could look like? So we could say at the beginning, the Roman Empire was large and difficult to defend.

Some Romans left Britain to defend the Empire, The Picts and Scots, they attacked the remaining Romans.

The Anglo-Saxons were invited to help fight.

The remaining Romans left in 410 CE.

The Britains were not very fearsome or good fighters.

The Anglo-Saxons wanted new farmland as theirs had flooded.

And the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain and took parts over.

So can you see how I've used each of those key words of Picts and Scots invited, 410 CE, fearsome and flooded, to help with my flow chart? Well done if you got those steps in a similar order.

To explain how those Anglo-Saxons came to take control of Britain, well done.

(mouse clicks) Now before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about the Anglo-Saxons coming to Britain.

The Romans left Britain in 410 CE to defend their empire.

Seaborne tribes called Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated to Britain to settle because of its rich farmland.

Can you remember how those tribes got to Britain? That's right, they came by sea, because they were seaborne tribes.

Thank you so much for joining me in this lesson today.

I really enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you for the next lesson.

See you next time.
