About the KS2 History Study Book - Vikings (Ages 9-11)
If your Year 5 or Year 6 child is studying the Vikings, the KS2 History Study Book – Vikings (Ages 9-11) from CGP makes the topic clear, engaging and easy to understand. Every double-page spread brings a different aspect of Viking life to colourful life—from raids and longships to settlement and daily routines—so children can build a solid foundation in this fascinating period without wading through dense paragraphs or dull textbooks.

The book pairs pupil-friendly explanations with timelines, photographs and illustrations that break up the text and hold attention. Thoughtful questions appear throughout each topic, prompting children to think independently and check their understanding as they go. There's no matching answer book for this study guide, but the accessible language and clear headings mean your child can read, absorb and discuss the content confidently at home or alongside classroom learning.

By the time they finish, your child will be able to describe key Viking events, explain why Norsemen travelled to Britain and understand how they lived—all knowledge aligned to the English National Curriculum for KS2 History. The full-colour layout and conversational tone turn revision into discovery, so learning feels less like a chore and more like an adventure through the past.
This study book suits any Year 5 or Year 6 pupil tackling the Viking topic, whether they're preparing for end-of-unit tests, supporting classroom work or simply curious about history. CGP's signature clear structure and engaging visuals make it equally useful for confident readers and those who need a gentler introduction to historical sources and chronology.
