Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and the ancient Greeks give Year 5 history its two contrasting flavours: the fight for the kingdom of England, and a civilisation whose ideas still shape ours. These Year 5 history worksheets cover both named units — the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England, and Ancient Greece.
Each aligns to the Key Stage 2 history programme of study in the England National Curriculum, which specifies the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle up to the time of Edward the Confessor, and a study of Greek life, achievements and their influence on the western world. Tasks develop chronology, causation and comparison across periods.
Use them to consolidate teaching, gather assessment evidence at the end of a unit, or provide purposeful homework mid-topic. Both worksheets are free to download and print. To emphasise a different angle — Athenian democracy, Norse mythology, Alfred the Great — edit or regenerate the sheet in Chalkie with a free account.
