Year 3 & 4 have made such fantastic progress in their writing this year - they just had to show their fabulous stories off to Year 1 & 2. 

Children took their published writing up to the younger years and read them their stories full of suspense. It was such a wonderful experience for both the Year 3 & 4 children who could see the purpose to their writing, a captive audience hanging on their every word, but also to the younger years who could aspire to be as dedicated as their older siblings and friends.

This term children have enjoyed learning all about the Battle of Hastings and 1066.
First, children learned all about the different reasons for the Battle. Children learned about Harold Godwinson and William of Normandy and their armies. 

Children then explored what happened on the lead up to the Battle and how the different armies prepared for the Battle.

Throughout their learning children were using historical clues to guide their thinking, the Bayeux Tapestry was particularly important when finding clues about the Battle of Hastings.

Finally, the children used evidence to discover who was Victorious.
