This term we are learning about the battle of Hastings in 1066 and the Bayeux tapestry. The four candidates that were fighting for the throne, were: Harold Godwinson, William La Batard, Harald Hardrada and Edgar the Atheling. They were all fierce except Edgar who was a sick teenager and didn't have ruling experience. However, Hardrada and William were foreign and wouldn't mix well with the British townsfolk.
In history we wrote a newspaper report on the battle of Hastings and pretended to play the battle scene. We then did an explanation piece of writing of the characters. We have spent a lot of time learning about the Normans,Vikings and Saxons, we have done research on the computers and found infomation in books. We have learned a lot from the Normans and the Saxons. The Normans won the battle of Hastings and ruled England for a short amount of time.

What a nice piece of writing that is!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy doing history and especially with Mr.Morris! He makes it fun and exiciting. I like the topic defend and attack and like all the work we have done so far. I liked the newspaper the best and acting out the scene of the battle of Hastings.
