What will we be doing in Year 7?
This year in History you will study the Norman Conquest, and look at the importance of Normans to English History, and even its impact today. We will also look at key people throughout History, such as Thomas Becket & King John, as well as key events (for example Black Death), and key changes to society (for example Castles). Then we will move onto the War of the Roses and the Tudor period, covering all the monarchs and key events.
