About this worksheet
This Year 4 history comprehension follows Osgar, a ten-year-old boy in an Anglo-Saxon village. The passage covers his wattle and daub house, the hearth with no chimney, his father ploughing with oxen and the mead hall where a scop sings. Ten questions follow in three sections: retrieval, vocabulary and inference, and evaluation. They range from naming the three materials in daub to judging the hardest part of winter. The worksheet runs to seven pages, and the passage starts on page 2. The answer key gives model answers for all ten. It follows the England National Curriculum for Britain's settlement by Anglo-Saxons and Scots.
