You guys have learned loads about the Romans and Celts (especially Boudicca) in this topic and you’ve really impressed me with your history knowledge and historical enquiry skills.
We’re going to end this topic by looking briefly at the people who invaded and settled in Britain after the Romans left: the Anglo-Saxons.
