Beyond the Horizon

The Story of the Anglo-Saxons and How England was born

Context and Rationale

The title links to why peoples migrate; because they think there is something better somewhere else, even if they do not know what is beyond the horizon.A study over a whole term of Europe which encompasses some early invasions and settlements and also the opportunity to study maps and atlases to find out what

Europe is like nowadays and find out more about our place in Europe.

Teacher Notes
