6 lessons

Threads

  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the ways in which life changed for ordinary people under Norman rule. They examine life in villages and towns, the work and diet of various groups and the changing laws of Norman England. They reflect on the degree to which life changed, and for whom.

This unit uses and builds on the previous unit where pupils learnt about the changes to the law and land ownership that took place under the Normans. By examining the changes to everyday life that Norman rule brought about, it also enriches knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking worlds that pupils built in years 5 and 6. This unit prepares pupils for the next unit, where pupils enhance their knowledge of change and continuity under Norman rule by examining the Norman Church in England.
